@Sibiraj-S a couple of things to mention:

the default clone path is remembered whenever you change it as part of performing a clone, or creating a new repository.
while this was an explicit option in GitHub Desktop on Windows, we settled on this behaviour from the Mac app as it wasn’t something that users changed often, and the setting would update without having to make users open the options menu.
