Change root behaviour: relative to current directory if a relative path is defined

[froblesmartin]

Hi there! First of all, thanks for the nice and simple solution! 😄

Now, my use case is that I open a bunch of microservices, each in a folder and run them in development mode.

I have set up the file iTermocil.yml in my repository so that everybody can just run itermocil and get everything running.

The situation I have faced is that each developer can have the repository checked out in a different path, so for root we can not use anything. Initially, I configured that as root: . expecting it to work, as itermocil is executed from the repository itself, but itermocil relies on the iTerm behaviour. If the profile is configured to open new tabs in $HOME, it does not work because the . does not point to the repository, just to ., which in that case is the home directory.

I wanted first to discuss the implementation so that if wanted, I could open a PR then.

My proposal is, if root starts with a dot ., make cd move relatively to where itermocil has been invoked, and if it is an absolute path, then just go there.

This is a great idea and is particularly valuable when working in a team.

There are increasingly more monorepo setups where one has to run half a dozen services and these have to be setup at startup time. It's time consuming and error prone.

Would love to be able to use iTermocil in this use case as every repo is at a different location.

As a plus, I feel like this is a great opportunity to grow iTermocil's user base (and perhaps number of contributors!) because it has a viral growth component. If I add it to my team's repo, and it saves everybody a lot of time, the people on the team are all going to end up using iTermocil as well.
