Build Directory

By default the Compute Engine builds from the root of the repository (./). Build Directory () on a connected repository card overrides that, pointing the build at a sub-directory of the repository instead. It opens the Select Build Directory dialog, a tree view of the repository folders.

Figure 1. Opening Build Directory on a connected repository card, picking a sub-directory in the Select Build Directory dialog, and confirming with Set Directory.

Pick a folder from the tree and click Set Directory to save the choice on the repository. The Compute Engine clones the repository on the next run and builds from the chosen directory, recursing into every sub-directory below it. The build directory persists on the repository until you change it again. To return to the repository root, reopen the dialog and pick ./.
