i am not talking about team workspaces, i was talking about local workspace. If I am not using Team Projects my projects are created and stored in Documents. I want them to be created in my desired location. – Meganmeganthropus

Answer 1

Tools --> Options --> Projects and Solutions --> Project Location.

Note that Visual Studio doesn't refer to this location as the "workspace" like Eclipse does. Workspace refers to some sort of clone of a team project. – Admix

Simple, useful. Thanks – Richierichlad

In Visual Studio 2022 it is now Tools --> Options --> Projects and Solutions--> Locations --> Project Location To future proof just search Options for 'Project location' – Hopscotch

Currently, the final branch of the tree is called "Locations" instead of "Project Location". – Cabbageworm

Answer 2

To set default path for cloning Git Repository: Tools-->Options-->Source Control-->Git Global Settings-->Default Location

Answer 3

Slight name change in the latest location on vs2022;

Tools > Options... > Projects and Solutions > Locations > Project location:

The path for the default git remains.

Tools > Options... > Source control > Git Global Settings > Default location:
