Tip: Ensuring Private Forgebox Packages Install to a Friendly Folder Name Without the Username

Private packages (modules) have a namespaced slug, such as foo@myusername. By default, Commandbox installs them to a folder that matches the slug like this: /modules/foo@myusername/

To use a friendlier folder name, add packageDirectory to the package’s own box.json:

{
    "slug": "fooModule@myusername",
    "packageDirectory": "foo"
}

CommandBox will then install it into modules/foo/, which looks much cleaner.
