I'm guessing from the responses that people aren't understanding your question... If I'm right in that you want to have ~\Desktop\github\ then changing the SDK location isn't what you're after.

From Android Studio 3.2.1: From the new project dialog, choose Configure -> Preferences -> Tools -> Terminal -> Start Directory

Put the folder you want as your project default in the field.

e.g. Mine is set to ~/Desktop/github/ since all my work is in ~/Desktop/github/
