title: External output paths for Typescript
body: <p>My Project structure is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Root
  |
  +- /build
  |  |
  |  +- /server
  |  |
  |  +- /app
  |
  +- /source
     |
     +- /server
     |  |
     |  +-tsconfig.json
     |  |
     |  +-(typescript files)
     |
     +- /app
        |
        +- tsconfig.json
        |
        +- (typescript files)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I am trying to use different tsconfig.json files by using:</p>
  
  <pre><code>tsc -p &lt;path&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The reason for that are different output targets. When I specify outdir inside the tsconfig.json file inside the /server folder as</p>
  
  <pre><code>    "outDir": "./../build/server"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it creates folders inside source named build/server</p>
  
  <p>Is there a way of navigating further back than the specified project root?</p>
