mount other local directories to a script

[nbittich]

In the context of the harvester, since we create many files there, that breaks commands like git statusbecause even if the data folder is ignored, git will still somehow scan it. We then decided to move the data/files out of the main repo.

Now we'd like to be able to cleanup orphan files by using a mu script. problem with this is we can't mount another folder (other than the project folder itself) afaik. Would it be possible to allow mounting other volumes, outside the project folder?

It should be obvious which parts of your system mu-cli has access to. I don't know what yet, but mu-cli could receive multiple folders to act on, this would be an example.

The less generic example I found was to supply a project folder. I assumed we could have an explicit folder for the app through --app "/home/user/src/app-hello-world/ and mount that (assuming a script would ask for it and the user would provide it). The feature requested here is a more abstract version of this thing.

Not yet sure how we could express this.
