Where Does Fork Store Favorites and Settings?
Where the Fork git client keeps favorites, accounts and settings on desktop for full moves.
Last updated
Fork splits desktop state two ways: repositories wherever you cloned them, and favorites with accounts in per OS app data. Avatars and icons cache beside them on every machine.
Copy the data folder with Fork closed for migration; repos move as plain folders apart. Tokens may need re-entering when the OS keychain changes. Exact folder names can vary by release, so confirm first on each machine you own today.
Where Fork stores this, by platform
%APPDATA%\Fork
Favorites and accounts in app data with repos cloned elsewhere. Close Fork before copying. Re-enter tokens when the keychain differs.
~/Library/Application Support/com.DanPristupov.Fork
Same app data pattern under Application Support on Mac. Use Finder Go to Folder to reach it. Cloned repos move as plain folders.
Frequently asked questions
How do I move Fork to a new computer?
Keep repos where they are and copy the app data folder with Fork closed. Favorites and accounts travel in files; repos move as plain folders. Reinstalls need both halves.
Which git accounts are connected in Fork?
Open Fork preferences and read the accounts list. Connected hosts show there with last used dates. The list always reflects the live state after token refreshes.
