FAQPage Schema
How do I restore my project context after an IDE restart or a long break?

You can recover your work context by analyzing recent Git commit logs, project structure, and working directory status. This summarizes recent changes and file states to help you quickly resume interrupted development work.

What is the best way to summarize recent project status using Git history?

Summarizing recent project status involves parsing Git commit messages and diffs. Evaluating these alongside current working directory changes provides a rapid overview of accomplished work and pending tasks.

Can I check my working directory status and untracked files without opening my IDE?

Yes, you can check working directory status by running Git command-line tools to parse file states. This identifies staged, unstaged, and untracked files to assess current project changes without needing an IDE.

Do I need Git command-line tools installed to analyze my working directory?

Yes, Git command-line tools are required to analyze your working directory. The context recovery process depends on these tools to parse commit logs, diffs, and file status directly from the repository.

When do I need to scan my project structure to understand project layout?
