You can also set it to a relative path to the open folder with

"terminal.integrated.cwd": "./example"

So if you do menu File → Open Folder... → project, and open the terminal with your keyboard shortcut, it will open to ~/project/example automatically.

It can be a general folder like src you would always use, or a specific one (but then it would be best to save it in file .vscode/settings.json).
