sharing a specific directory from host

[blobbybilb]

I see that lima automatically shares /Users to the VM, however I would like to only share one directory with the VM (~/code, where I keep all my code).

I couldn't find anything about this in the Getting Started or the FAQs... Is this possible? If so, how?

(simply disabling the /Users mount is enough, since I can add the ~/code dir in the yaml)

You just modify lima.yaml to change the ~ mount to ~/code. Does that not work for you?

Sorry, it seems I just understood the file sharing wrong... I thought lima would share all the files inside my /Users folder as read-only, which I did not want.

That does what I want it to, thanks!
