Nice! Check out Recipe::working_directory. If self.change_directory() is true, first use the workdir setting, and if it isn't present, Use the existing logic.

thx @casey, seems to work, ready for review

Nice! I did some refactoring, and renamed the setting working-directory for clarity, since i try to avoid too many abbreviations. We could eventually also allow working-dir as an alias.

This also made me realize that there's a bug! backticks do not execute in the correct directory if they're in a submodule. I'll fix that in another PR.

thx! Are you sure you want a long working-dir when you already have a short tempdir ?

I think so, just because I commonly hear tempdir, but people usually say working directory or working dir, and workdir feels a little less common.

🤷 your call. I searched github for code matches:

• workdir - 3.5M
• working directory - 2.7M

P.S. working directory mostly seem to show up in documentation, but workdir tend to be a lot in the actual code
