<span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">> Second, lets presume my project starts in my home directory.

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif"> Just curious: why would you want your home folder to be a project <br></span><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">folder? One usually wants the home folder to have one or more project <br>

<div><br></div><div><br></div><div>My home folder has many folders, many of which I'd like to have be in multi-folder projects. So ~/bin and ~/notes are a pair, while a second pair are ~/bank (receipts) and ~/config (a collection of configuration files used elsewhere)</div>

<span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">> Third, a work around would be to simply have a separate folder per project, <br></span><span style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">> containing symbolic links (ln -s) to the folders I want in my project. </span><br style="font-family:Verdana,Geneva,Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">
