How do I change my Git home folder?

Question

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.

Solution

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

Tested cd ~, and it has navigated to C:\Projects as expected.

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.
