Summary
The user is asking if Earthly allows for alternative locations for Earthfiles, similar to how Makefiles can be referenced from subdirectories. They want to keep the Earthfile in the root directory but are facing issues with the COPY command, which relies on the current path and has relative paths based on the Earthfile's location. The user notes that while Docker allows for adjusting the context path, this doesn't seem possible in Earthly. They suggest passing the path as an argument to the target to modify the logic. The user concludes that it is not possible to COPY files from outside the build context directory.
