Change default start location in hyper.is terminal

Question

On OSX, every time I start my hyper.is terminal I have to cd desktop, is there a way to configure it to start in /desktop by default instead of the root folder?

Answer 1

I'm not sure how this would be done in hyper.is but this can be done more generally by adding cd ~/Desktop to your bash profile. This can be done by running the following:

echo "cd ~/Desktop" >> ~/.bash_profile

Answer 2

This didn't work for me :(

Here's what worked, which is also answered on How do you change the start location for the hyper.is terminal on OSX

"I spent hours on this yesterday! I ended up having to update the .zschrc file.

I made a walkthrough to hopefully save other people the time to do this.

Even though this walkthrough doesn't talk about Hyper, it did update Hyper as well. "

For Windows, if you have Git installed:

1. Goto hamburger icon -> Edit -> Preferences
2. Add shell: 'C:\\Program Files\\Git\\bin\\bash.exe' to your .hyper.js file.
3. Save and then open .bash_profile file and add cd <whatever location you want> and save it.
4. Reopen Hyper to see the changes.
