Add possibility for custom .build folder location

@mihaicris-adoreme do you mind adding some context around why the following is needed:

Have a feature to customise the location of Tuist/.build folder

It’ll be useful for anyone picking this issue to better understand where the suggestion comes from.

Sure. I am working with git worktrees (more clones of the same repo, in order to work on several branches in paralel). I have in each worktree a Tuist/.build folder, but I would like to have tuist working with a shared folder, not depending of the worktree path. Somehow similarly with DerivedData, which might be shared or relative to the project.

Hi, @mihaicris-adoreme. I’m Dosu, and I’m helping the tuist team manage their backlog and am marking this issue as stale.

Issue Summary:

• You requested a feature to customize the location of the Tuist/.build folder via a command line parameter.
• The goal is to support shared build folders across multiple git worktrees, avoiding separate .build folders per worktree.
• You provided context explaining the use case involves working on parallel branches with git worktrees.
• The feature would be similar to how DerivedData can be configured in Xcode.
• The issue remains unresolved with no further updates or progress.

What’s Next:

• Please let me know if this feature is still relevant to your workflow with the latest version of Tuist by commenting on this issue.
• If I don’t hear back within 7 days, I will automatically close this issue to keep the backlog manageable.

Thanks for your understanding and contribution!
