I’m new to CircleCI and I host multiple Chef cookbooks in a single repository, one subdirectory per cookbook. I’d like to run different CircleCI builds per subdirectory in that repository.

Is this possible?

I noticed the docs saying I can [run commands on a specific subdirectory](https://circleci.com/docs/configuration/#example-running-phpunit-on-a-special-directory), but this request seems a little more comprehensive.
