What is the --path option for in appfogs update command

Question

Using appfog, I'm trying to update only a single directory of my site.

af update myApp --path some/directory

Now, according to this post - How do I push an app in chunks to Appfog?

This is not a possible task. So, my question is, what does the --path option do?

Answer 1

The --path switch overrides the local root path of your application. It will upload the entire app from that location. This might be useful for scripts that update apps from a different current working directory.
