I'd like to be able to set a default directory for creating new projects

I’d like to have the option to set a default directory for creating new projects.
Currently, projects are automatically placed under each user’s folder, which makes it difficult to maintain consistency across the team.

You can change settings, including the default project location using the pio settings command:

https://docs.platformio.org/en/latest/core/userguide/cmd_settings.html#setting-projects-dir

Or, you can set an environment variable PLATFORMIO_SETTING_PROJECTS_DIR to do a similar thing.

There’s a huge amount of information about just about everything PlatformIO over at https://docs.platformio.org if you get stuck with anything.

Cheers,
Norm.
