When installing Git, I couldn’t configure the location of my working directory.

I’ve already changed it to "Start at:"C: Users Renata Mendes Documents Projects"" in Git Bash properties, but the change is not saved and every time I start the terminal I have to manually enter the directory.

What’s the best way to do that?

P.S.: I’m a beginner in Git and Programming.

    "Which" Git did you install? Example: git-scm, Tortoise git, etc.. What do you mean by "location of my working directory"? You only have a single git repository on your machine and you want the git prompt window to always open in the path of that repository? Or is it something else I didn’t understand?

Hello,

I was able to change the git bash initial path by changing the 'start in' parameter in the properties, here it worked, I think the problem you are having is because of the space character. Try using a spaceless path to test.

Hello,

Try to follow these steps:

1- Target field : remove what is after the quotes, leaving only the until ending "xxxxxx Git git-bash.exe" nothing else..

2-Field start on: Place the folder the shortcut you want to initialize the script.

That way when reopening Git Bash it will already be set to the path indicated in field 2.
