title: How do I change the default location for Git Bash on Windows?
body: <p>I am using Git on Windows 7 and access my repositories through Git Bash. How can I change the default location that Git Bash opens in a convenient folder when I start it?</p>
  
  <p>It's somewhat time consuming to navigate to <code>htdocs</code>, and then a specific folder. Is there a way to change the configuration file to have it open elsewhere? Or would it be possible to write a <code>.sh</code> file to do this?</p>
  
  <p>Unfortunately Git Bash won't open my <code>htdocs</code> folder shortcut on my desktop, and it takes using <code>cd</code> 5 times to get to my desired directory.</p>
