I do not know this ".." command (could you please show me how to use it in a relative path?), but it sounds like a good start.
But it implies that I know in advance how many folders up the parent directory is. I guess in most cases it will always be the same, but it would be even better if it could be applied generically. As I said, ideally, I would like to get the project directory from a script located in a subfolder. Thanks!
