I am running the latest version of git on Windows. When I start Git Bash (Running MINGW32) from my start menu it starts git from my users home directory. When I pin the window to the task bar and then click on it from the task bar it starts in the C:\ directory. Is there a way where I can get it to always start from my users directory?

Add this line to your .bashrc file:
cd <location>;
If the .bashrc file doesn't exist, create one in your home folder. For me, it's C:\Users\username\
Save .bashrc and open Git Bash.

That isn't working. I tried cd ~ and cd /c/Users/rnaddy neither worked. I also closed and reopened bash. – Get Off My Lawn – 2018-04-10T14:59:57.633
if I run source ~/.bashrc it seems to work, just not on startup – Get Off My Lawn – 2018-04-10T15:00:56.760
got it, I had to add it to ~/.bash_profile – Get Off My Lawn – 2018-04-10T15:07:06.583

No, but does seem to be displaying from my home directory now... – Get Off My Lawn – 2016-02-18T15:38:43.463
