Whenever I clone a repo from BitBucket to my local system, Sourcetree assumes that I want to store the local copy to my "home" directory( c:\users\<my name>\Documents\<repo_name>). That's not where I have all my git repos, so I have to navigate to where I want it to be stored. This creates two frustrations:
1. I can't figure out how to change the default location so that I don't have to navigate at all.
2. Once I'm done navigating Sourcetree has "forgets" the repo name so I have to add it back in.
Is there a way to set the default folder in SourceTree so that I'm not as frustrated?
Have you tried setting the "Project Folder" in Tools > Options > General > Misc? I don't know if that is what that option sets, but it seems like it might.
That was it! Thanks!

Note that for macs this setting is under SourceTree > Preferences > Misc section but is still called "Project Folder"

So what does one do if one's work-laptop is tiny and the misc folder is below the fold and there's no scroll bar on that option window? I can't get to that option and can't pretend to have a higher resolution!

In a new version of sourcetree (v2) the setting is called "Project folder:" and it's located under Tools > Options > General > Repo Settings.

I am unable to modify this using the BitBucket GUI for macOS (version 4.0.1).
There is no button available to choose a different default directory...
Does anybody know how to modify this using command line?
