How do I change the launch position of Git Bash for Windows?

Question

Whenever I launch the Git Bash window, it always starts at the upper left corner of the screen, so I have to drag it to the center to see it clearly.

Is there a way to change the default launch position, so that I don't have to drag it every time I launch it?

Essentially I'm looking for a Windows's solution to this: How can I set gnome-terminal's X and Y startup position?

Thank you!

1. Go to C:\Users\username\.minttyrc

2. Specify the x and y position in two new lines like this:

X=300
Y=300

3. Save for it to take effect.

omg thank you for this answer! It wasn't easy to find, and works perfectly! – pavichokche Jan 20 '23 at 17:48
Just to add a small addendum, if you don't see the `.minttyrc` there you can just create the file and add the text above. – Flare Mar 01 '23 at 09:08
it doesn't work for me on windows 10 (i use a shortcut on my toolbar to git-bash.exe), my version is 2.38.1. – kingsjester Jun 19 '23 at 08:36
