As someone who is new to Haskell, I was setting up my text-editors, environments etc. when I found that any new projects I created using the command-line:

stack new my-project new-template

would always be stored in the directory:

C:\Users\username

This isn't ideal, and I wondered if it was possible to change the default directory somehow (this also happens when I clone projects from GitLab).

My operating system is Windows 10 (64 bit) and I have installed Haskell 8.4.3 along with Haskell stack and Git.

Any potential solution would be greatly appreciated; please do ask for more information if it's needed.

Thanks!

    If you cd into different directory and invoke the about command, does that still result in C:\Users\username ? Commented Oct 6, 2018 at 12:56

Reset to default

It's because you current directory is C:\Users\username

I think the simple solution is just cd to your preferred directory. For example if have a project directory named project in drive D then cd D:\project followed by stack new my-project new-template.

If you use cmd.exe, then you must type d: first.

cd doesn't change the current drive by default. cd /d d:\project might work better.
