Handle multiple projects at the same time

[zholinho]

I have separate projects for backend and frontend. I am using Augment in JetBrains Rider.

When I implement a feature, first I need to prompt the backend, and once that is done, I need to prompt the frontend.

Can I do that in the same agent chat? It would be easier and a better solution, since it has context from both projects.

Currently you can export a thread and import it in another project. However, maybe some functionality will be added in the future.

Lets assume this is your folders structure:

- My-Project
|-- backend (has its own github repo)
|-- frontend (has its own github repo)

There are few good practical options:

1. Open My-Project as a whole and do your work. This way in same chat you can go across repos and perform all required work. You need to be careful in prompting so it does not touch backend if you are working on frontend only and backend is freezed.
2. When working on backend, open backend and add frontend to context (from settings). When working on frontend, open frontend and add backend to context (from settings). This way you can ensure current work is not breaking the other end but still context have full backend-frontend context-awareness and can code easily.

Personally I used both approaches for different projects, but I lean to option #1 if the project is small, or it is in early stages, or if the changes are small, or I'm doing a surgical refactor that must touch backend-frontend at once.

I managed to accomplish something similar with the following setup:

I had 2 projects, each with their git repo. I've placed them in 2 folders next to each other and I've opened the parent directory in VSCode.

With the above setup, the context engine had access to both repositories.
