Question: customize `src` directory? #708

Closed roxma closed 7 years ago

roxma commented 7 years ago

Hi, nice project here

I just read the usage documentation on how the project root is detected

gb automatically detects your project’s root directory based on your current working directory.

A gb project is defined as any directory that contains a src/ subdirectory. gb automatically detects the root of the project by looking at the current working directory and walking backwards until it finds a directory that contains a src/ subdirectory.

I'm working on a project written in in golang and c++, they are run as independent process, communicating over unix socket. Currently they are put in saparate directories, like $PROJECT/goserver $PROJECT/cppserver. It would be wierd to rename $PROJECT/goserver to $PROJECT/src if I need to use gb. Is there any way to customize the name of src directory?

I'm afraid not, src/ is used as the sentinal to find the root of the gb project.
