Pulling fromhttps://twitter.com/_baxuz/status/1597248286108553216 &#6084 (comment): it's not explicitly mentioned in our docs when & why you would want to enabletsconfigRootDir.

...but that's about it. It'd be nice if we were more explicit that:

• It's for when your current working directory doesn't match up with your path relativity.
  • It's mentioned in the@typescript-eslint/parser README as:

  Relative paths are interpreted relative to the current working directory iftsconfigRootDir is not set. If you intend on running ESLint from directories other than the project root, you should consider usingtsconfigRootDir.

• Having working directory mismatches is, to my understanding, an unfortunate and to-be-avoided situation?
  • We could add workarounds somewhere, such asTroubleshooting & FAQs?

Note: once#5984 is merged, we'll have the package READMEs and included API docs on the site.
