How do I change my git home folder? Currently my git folder is located in my %AppData% folder. I store my projects in my C:\Projects folder. I would like my git bash to start up in my C:\Projects folder and whenever I cd to my home directory (cd ~) I want it to navigate to C:\Projects.

~ is your user root directory – peterchaula Jul 11 '16 at 22:25

Maybe this is what you want:
cd /c/projects
EDIT:
if you want it to start up within this directory, then just do this in cmd(admin):
setx HOME "C:\Projects"
after this you need to restart git-bash.
To test variable enter this in git-bash:
echo $HOME
![](../../users/profiles/5420570.webp)

It worked well and it did exactly what is in the question. In my case it also changed the "options" setting, i.e. color, fonts, window size, etc., to a default setting, which wasn't really difficult to change again. – Reza Dodge Mar 10 '18 at 21:20
