### Working directory
The default working directory for running binaries within a container is the
root directory (`/`). It is possible to set a different working directory with the
Dockerfile `WORKDIR` command. The operator can override this with:
root directory (`/`). The default working directory of an image is set using
the Dockerfile `WORKDIR` command. You can override the default working
directory for an image using the `-w` (or `--workdir`) flag for the `docker
run` command:
-w="", --workdir="": Working directory inside the container
```text
$ docker run --rm -w /my/workdir alpine pwd
/my/workdir
```
If the directory doesn't already exist in the container, it will be created.
