Is it possible to change the folder where Git Desktop saves the files it takes from github.com?

I want it to save in the wamp www folder so that I can edit it in Visual Code and then push it to github.

The easy solution is to move the directory to another location and git desktop will auto prompt you to locate it!

In GitHub Desktop 1.3.2 File > Clone Repository gives an option to select the path -- at least on a per repository basis.

enter image description here

I'm not sure if there is a more general way to choose the default repo path.
