Local Projects

Lody supports adding any local working directory as a project. We recommend using the desktop app for this workflow. After a local project is added, Lody can keep it in sync across devices in real time, including chat history and file-diff views.

Add a Local Project

Lody supports multiple ways to add one:

• In the desktop app, click the add button next to My Projects. This opens the local file picker, where you can choose a directory to add.
• In non-desktop environments such as servers, use the CLI project commands, for example npx lody project add [path].

Current Limitations

• Local projects do not support the worktree workflow yet.
• Local projects cannot update remote branches directly yet, but you can still ask the agent to handle the related Git operations for you.
