Set the default directory in mac terminal

Question

I only use terminal (mac) for git, and I only use git for one directory. Is it possible to set the default directory (the directory when terminal is opened) to the directory

Answer 1

I modified @Michael Ozeryansky's answer to solve the caveat he mentioned:

The only caveat is if you're in your actual HOME directory and open a new window, it will take you to START. Which is expected.

To make your second terminal window tab starts from the Home or Any other dir:

export START="/Users/michael/my/starting/directory"
export DIR = "path/to/directory"
if [[ $PWD == $HOME ]]; then
     cd $START
else 
     cd $HOME  // or any other dir: cd $DIR
fi
