Workspace

The workspace is the directory containing the Werkfile, minus any files and directories mentioned by .gitignore.

When writing build recipes, the dependencies of a build recipe may be references to files within the workspace, or they may be referencing the output of another recipe, which will exist in the output directory.

Cache directory

The cache directory is where Werk stores its internal cache. It can be set in two ways:

• From within the Werkfile: default cache-dir = ".."
• From the command-line: werk --cache-dir=..
