Support monorepos with scala subfolders

[pvillega]

We currently have a project in which the scala project is located in a subfolder in the repo. Currently Steward can't identify that project as a Scala project, and it ignores it.

We would need a way to indicate a subfolder in a git repository where the scala project is located.

We are aware that there is a closed issue regarding projects following the Play/Akka structure, but this is a different issue.

Similar to #46

[pvillega]

Yes, but not exactly the same as #46 if I understand correctly. #46 seems to be focussed on Play projects (based on examples), this is more 'any subfolder that can be a full project by itself'. Then again I may be misreading :)

[exoego]

Yes, I mean this issue seems to supersede #46, since #46 can be achieved if 'any subfolder` can be a full project.

I am working on this.

Will this also make it possible to support repos that contain Giter8 templates?

Here's an example: https://github.com/scala/scala-seed.g8

I saw that Scala Steward is at least updating the sbt version of a g8 tempmlate, see scala/scalatest-example.g8#14

Hi @exoego, just curious, is this still being worked on?

[exoego]

No, I am no longer working on this feature (I closed my WIP PR #721).
Anyone can take over the PR.

FYI, #1093 is another approach for this feature.

Thanks for the info, I haven't found those PRs :)
