Answer 1

It looks like a bug in GitGUI. But you can still specify what folder to open by launching it from Explorer in the folder of the repository . Just right-click on the repository's folder and select "Git-GUI Here"

Answer 2

I had the same issue and was able to resolve it for myself.

If you created a repository in your git root by entering commands versus using the GUI (in my case in c:/users/Adal), that seems to be what causes the GUI to jump straight to that repo every time. Just go ahead and delete that .git folder in c:/users/Adal or wherever your root is.

Worked for me ;-)
