Is there some way to move / rename the temporary directory that gets created when I'm running dagster? Currently it makes a mess of my git tracking and I can't even add it to .gitignore because of the randomly generated folder names

you can set the DAGSTER_HOME environment variable, i have this e.g.

DAGSTER_HOME=/Users/pedram/projects/dagster_home

i tried this, but it's still creating a folder where I execute the script (not where I set DAGSTER_HOME variable)

DAGSTER_HOME=~/DagsterArtifacts; dagster dev -f myscript.py

remove the semicolon and try again

works now, thank you!
