I want to have a parameter that can run anywhere, I'm using this method right now, is there a better way?

which archivebox
archivebox () {
	local prev_dir=$(pwd)
	cd "$HOME/Workspace/Archive"
	command archivebox "$@"
	cd "$prev_dir"
}

That works, but I think slightly simpler is to use the env command to wrap it: https://www.gnu.org/software/coreutils/manual/html_node/env-invocation.html

env --chdir="$HOME/Workspace/Archive" archivebox ...
# aka
env -C "$HOME/Workspace/Archive" archivebox ...

To make an alias in bash:

alias archivebox='env --chdir="$HOME/Workspace/Archive" archivebox'
