How do I change my Git home folder?

Question

How do I change my git home folder? Currently my git folder is located in my %AppData% folder. I store my projects in my C:\Projects folder. I would like my git bash to start up in my C:\Projects folder and whenever I cd to my home directory (cd ~) I want it to navigate to C:\Projects.

Maybe this is what you want:

cd /c/projects

EDIT:
if you want it to start up within this directory, then just do this in cmd(admin):

setx HOME "C:\Projects"

after this you need to restart git-bash.
To test variable enter this in git-bash:

echo $HOME
