Move .rovodev folder to some other path instead of root folder

[Nayan Korat]

I want to use Rovo Dev for code reviews when a new pull request is raised. I have added my custom instructions in the .rovodev folder. However, the problem is that my repository code is not from open source languages, which means it has a predefined folder structure that does not allow any additional folders outside of the root folders. Therefore, I need to place the .rovodev folder somewhere within the root folder. Does Rovo Dev have any properties that allow me to specify the path to my custom instructions, or will it be able to read my custom instructions if I place them inside the .rovodev folder within the root?

@Nayan Korat welcome to the community. Today, Rovo Dev expects the .rovodev folder at the repo root and doesn’t support configuring a custom path. It won’t reliably read instructions if the folder is nested elsewhere.

If your repo structure can’t accommodate it, the common workaround is to keep .rovodev at root in a separate branch or repo used for reviews, or rely on inline prompts instead.
