[FR] possibility to change project-dir to super-project-dir about deadgrep HOT 2 CLOSED

You could write a custom function for deadgrep-project-root-function?

I'm not entirely happy with how deadgrep works here: the usecase you've described requires writing a little code. The opposite is also tricky: for some repos I'd like deadgrep to only search a subdirectory by default, which also requires a custom function for deadgrep-project-root-function.

Perhaps a deadgrep-root-overrides would be useful? An alist of the form:

(setq deadgrep-root-overrides
  '(("my/project/git/1" "my/project") ;; would meet your use case
    ("other/project" "other/project/preferred/subdirectory"))) ;; would meet my use case

from deadgrep.

Thx for the suggestions (sry for my late answer). I'll probably override deadgrep-project-root-function.
