On Windows I have installed Git Bash. My HOMEPATH & HOMEDRIVE environment variables are set so that my home directory is M:\. As of now I have my .bashrc & .bash_profile files sitting at M:\ & they work just fine.

My question: Is there a way to have Git Bash look somewhere other than M:\ for .bashrc & .bash_profile without changing my HOMEPATH & HOMEDRIVE environment variables?

For example, I want to keep my system's home directory at M:\ but move .bashrc & .bash_profile to C:\my\new\location.

Those .bash* files are referenced by HOME, so simply set (create) the HOME environment variable to C:\my\new\location

Then open a bash session and check that your resource files are sourced.

HOMEPATH and HOMEDRIVE will be unchanged.
