macOS: Set default directory?

[kevinSuttle]

• I am on the latest Hyper.app version
• I have searched the issues of this repo and believe that this is not a duplicate

• OS version and name: macOS 10.13.4 (17E199)
• Hyper.app version: Hyper 2.0.0 (stable)
• Link of a Gist with the contents of your .hyper.js: https://gist.github.com/kevinSuttle/0e830041913088561cd1997d5c08da00#file-hyper-js-L36
• Relevant information from devtools (CMD+ALT+I on macOS, CTRL+SHIFT+I elsewhere): N/A
• The issue is reproducible in vanilla Hyper.app: Yes

Issue

Is it possible to set the default directory? Adding another index to shellArgs only results in a runtime error.

Uncaught Exception:

I have a same question for Windows. How do I set the default startup directory for Windows? I am not using any custom shell.

Changing default directory depends on which shell do you use.

For bash: execute only one time : echo "cd ~/code" >> ~/.bashrc
For zsh: execute only one time: echo "cd ~/code" >> ~/.zshrc
(And edit this line in rc files if you want to change this directory later)

For Windows (CMD or PowerShell): see this issue: #2794

BTW, we definitely need to add a new config entry for this. Issue created: #3000

you can set the workingDirectory config key for this.
