Question:
I want to clone a GitHub repository from Visual Studio, and the default path is C:\Users\[User]\Sources\Repos\[NameOfProject]
.
How do I change it? Every time I create or clone a repo, the path remains the same.
Answer:
In Visual Studio 2015 / 2017 / 2019:
- Go to the menu bar, click View and then select Team Explorer
- Click the Home icon button in Team Explorer
- Click on Settings
- Click on Global Settings under Git
(Note: may not appear if you have no cloned git repos) - Alter the path for the Default location.
- Click OK/Update
Note: the location is case-sensitive, and it will not warn you if that exact location is not found
