Run yarn in a different path

Yarnpkg

Yarnpkg Problem Overview

Is there a way to specify a working directory for yarn? This would be different then the --modules-folder option. Specifically, I'm trying to run the yarn install command from a location outside of the package location.

Similar to -C in git

Solution 1 - Yarnpkg

You can use --cwd like so yarn --cwd <path> <yarn command>.
The order of arguments is important.

Example:

yarn --cwd ~/test_project/ dev

Because the following will not work:

yarn dev --cwd ~/test_project/

Solution 2 - Yarnpkg

--cwd is what you want.

(tested with yarn 1.3.2)
