Description

Is workspace-specific settings on the roadmap for the Windows Terminal? I was chatting with @jongalloway about it and it would really help streamline teams to be able to check in certain settings or profiles with a solution. VS Code has a great model for Workspace settings and User Settings, I would love to see it here as well. (bonus points for auto-switching settings when cd'ing into a workspace directory).
