Not perfect, but it'll probably work. I'll bring up the idea of overriding some settings (such as targetPath) on the command line in a similar manner to ssh in the dub [discussions](https://github.com/dlang/dub/discussions) area and see how well that goes over.

Set output location for dub --single
Hi D Coming from a python background it's worked well to organize my D projects as a dub `sourceLibrary` and then to put top level programs in a directory named `scripts` that are just dub single file projects. So the layout looks like this: ``` rootdir/ | +- mypackage/ || |+- libfile1.d |+- libfile2.d | +- scripts/ || |+- prog1.d |+- prog2.d | +- dub.json ``` In dub.json "scripts" are ignored via `"excludedSourceFiles":["scripts/*"]`. Each "script" includes `mypackage` via: ```d #!/usr/bin/env dub /+ dub.sdl: dependency "mypackage" version="*" path=".." dependency (other nonlocal packages) +/ ``` ...and all seems rather familiar to a python programmer and I avoid the complexities of dub sub-projects. For building the individual "scripts" as binaries, it be nice output the binaries to another directory, say `bin`. Is there an override for the dub command line that would specify the output location? Maybe something like: ```bash dub --single -o targetPath=./bin ./script/prog1.d ``` ? (Here the mythical argument `-o` overrides a single build configuration setting.) After reading over the dub documentation I don't see a general way to override project options via the command line, but maybe it's there and I couldn't understand what the dub docs were trying to say.
