Re: [Fab-user] Keeping remote path (or remote context) for next command

[Jeff Forcier]

Executing commands over SSH doesn't keep a real shell around (this is
true for other SSH automation too - think of it as a series of "ssh
<hostname> <command>" calls in your shell).

So - typically you have to fake it by generating prefixed commands.
E.g. Fabric's cd() helper just updates run() calls within its block so
they all actually start with "cd <path> && ...".

You can do this with arbitrary commands by using the prefix() helper -

Best,
Jeff
