Description

I'm using a Win7 machine at work and it is configured with folder redirection.

This configuration forces Github Desktop to install at \\NETWORK\Redirected\USERNAME\Application Data\GitHub Desktop. The application opens, but much of the functionality is broken because it has trouble finding and using the data in the folder.

I had the same issue with Atom and I created this issue atom/atom#15663. We were able to workaround by creating an 'electronUserData' folder at C:\Users\USERNAME\.atom.

Is it possible to do something similar with Github Desktop to restore functionality?

Thanks for your help.

Version
