I already found some time ago the way to create shortcut to open local repository via Git bash. I would just add --cd="C:\RepoFolder" in shortcut properties -> Target after exe path.
But the same approach didn't work with Git GUI.
So is there a way to do the same? Just create a shortcut which would open local repository in Git GUI and no additional clicks needed?

1You can modify the `Start in` field (just below `Target` field) in the shortcut's properties to point to the repo folder, by default it is `%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%`, you can replace it with this `%HOMEDRIVE%\RepoFolder` – Saurabh P Bhandari Apr 09 '20 at 23:06

@SaurabhPBhandari, thanks. Yes, that worked. Why didn't you write it as the answer to the question? – Constantine Ketskalo Apr 13 '20 at 12:05
