Question Change .bin and AssetGroups folder save locations

As per the title, i am looking to change the save location of the bin files and the asset group folders.
I am looking to make the git repo completely clear of addressable content, though i do want to include general settings including a default setting for new groups being added.

I currently git ignore a folder with all the raw assets. If 2 team members do want to share content, they individually package and send these folders. The problem is the groups are not set up without the appropriate setting files. If they do include these in the git repo, it messes up and causes conflicts as for the majority of the time, each team member is working on their own content.

it is one team members job to quality check finalised content folders and build the bundles to the live server with a catalog update.
