Work across repositories

RepositoriesIntermediate4 min

CodeZero is designed around the organisation's repository set rather than only the folder currently open in VS Code.

Browse indexed repositories

The Files view lists the repositories CodeZero has indexed for your organisation. A repository checked out on your machine expands to its real working tree. A repository that is not checked out can still expand to its indexed file list, and those files can be opened from the index.

The Files view listing thirteen repositories, showing which are open or cloned locally and which are index-only
Files · 13 repositories: the open one expands to your working tree, the rest are index-only.

Understand local versus indexed context

When a local checkout exists, CodeZero prefers the working tree because it includes the current branch and uncommitted changes. When no checkout exists, CodeZero uses the organisation index for read-only context.

Keep repository conversations separate

You can work across several repositories from the same VS Code window. CodeZero keeps each repository's chat and workstream separate, so a conversation about one service does not inherit the state of another.

Organisation-wide indexed context is still available inside each conversation, which is what lets a question in one repository be answered with evidence from another.

Plan a cross-repository change

A plan can name more than one repository. CodeZero keeps those repositories in scope for the agent and makes the dependency visible in Tasks.

Clone a repository when editing is required

An indexed repository can be read without being checked out, but it cannot be edited until a local checkout exists. When an approved plan requires a missing repository, Tasks identifies it and offers Clone. You choose where the checkout should be created.

This keeps cross-repository understanding available early while keeping actual writes tied to a real working tree on your machine.
