Change home directory for opening projects in IntelliJ

Viewed 143

I've been searching around and confused with the results here as the others here in stackoverflow are saying its not possible or is via the vmoptions file. But all I wanted was just simply change the projects home directory showing when I'm opening my projects as I have to navigate too many folders just to get to my directory where all my projects are. Hence I'm posting this question.

To do so, after opening IntelliJ with any existing project,

  • Go to File > Settings / Ctrl + Alt + S

enter image description here

  • On the left pane, navigate to Appearance & Behavior . System Settings enter image description here
  • Find the Project Opening section, and then click the folder icon to find the directory to set the new home directory for opening projects.

  • Click Apply

Then you'd now be able to automatically navigate to this directory whenever trying to open your projects folder.
