) This makes it so WinAppCLI's global dir uses "$userProfile/.winapp" again by default instead of ".winappglobal". Using ".winappglobal" was getting too complicated, and I don't have time to see it through right now. Instead: * Make all the tests use a different dir for the global vs local * Add a test to make sure we never return the global dir as the local dir This change reverts #178 This is meant as a replacement for #186 --------- Co-authored-by: Nikola Metulev <[email protected]>

See specs/move-global-folder-spec.md for more information.
Here's how a restore looks:
