Github Mac App How To Change Default Storage Directory


In the github mac app i am trying to change the default directory of one of my repo's. In the settings screen I only see a place to change the remote repo. enter image description here

Where do I need to go to change the default location? Sorry if it is very obvious.


Solution

  • So after some trial and error I figured out how to change the location after you have set it up. Apparently it is as easy as just moving the folder that contains the .git. So for example I just moved the website folder into a new directory and the GitHub app was able to track the movement.

    Edit 1: The move does not always stick so you might have to try a couple of times.
