Git Gui automatically opens repository

I need to use Git Gui for a project after a few months of not using it. I opened it and it immediately opens to a repository C:/Users/Myusername I cannot open another repository.

I have lost the options

I recommend using the following tool which is much more rich in its capabilities and it will be much easier for you to connect to an existing repo.

You can simply open the new repository wizard and follow the required steps.

If you launch git gui from a repository directory it will open that repository. To see the screen you show above, run it from a directory that isn't managed by Git.

it immediately opens to a repository C:/Users/Myusername

Are you deliberately tracking that directory with Git? If not, you may have accidentally created a repository there. Remove it and you should be back to normal.
