What is --workdir ?

[tseemann]

  --workdir WORKDIR, -w WORKDIR
                        Working directory, default is current directory
                        (default: /home/linuxbrew)

If this is meant to be fast scratch, please use os.tempdir instead, which will use $TMPDIR.

@tseemann workdir is the directory you are currently in. It is assumed that this would be the directory that the user wished to run bohra in I will alter the help to make this clearer
