Shell-executor build folder isolation

First of all thanks for this great tool, it’s awesome 😃

I wish there would be a way to let the pipeline run in another isolated directory so that changes done by the pipeline don’t affect the repository itself.

For example the command could look like this:

gitlab-ci-local --dir build

This would then create a directory called build, copy the project’s content into it and run the pipeline in that directory.

That’s what I thought. I think, we would have to recreate what an actual runner does, and that is to create a folder for each job, when they are run simultaneously. That way the tool could simulate artifacts workflows as well. I’ll have a look tonight.

4.9.5 contains job isolation via /build/ folders for docker-executor. Are you using shell-executor in your use-case @MoritzBrueckner
