[Fab-user] how to change present working directory?

[Bryan Berry]

hey guys,

I just started playing w/ Fabric, awesome tool! I am having trouble
changing the working directory w/ run("cd /var/myapp") . I need to
change the current directory before performing my code checkout w/ git.

run("cd /var/myapp") works w/ out errors but all following run()
commands operate in my /root directory

Is there an easy way to change this? perhaps w/ the fab_shell variable?

thanks again for the great tool. I may ask some basic questions as I am
new to Python.
