Hi, when the frontend is in a subdirectory of the repository, and I select the directory during import from `GitHub`, `v0` doesn’t understand that it should work in the root directory.

We're working on better monorepo support here but for now you'll probably need to select the root directory for import

Hello, good morning.

How could I do that?

I selected the following in the import modal:

Hey! To help debug your v0 project, could you share your **v0 chat link**?
It looks like `https://v0.app/chat/...` — you can copy it from your browser's address bar while in the chat.

You'll also need to unlist the chat so our team can view it — here's how: https://v0.app/docs/sharing

This helps the team reproduce what you're seeing much faster. Thanks!
