Opening a workspace folder

To start working in Campfire, open a folder. That folder becomes the current workspace.

Choose a folder that contains the files you want Campfire to understand or help change. Campfire treats the folder as the normal boundary for file discovery, file edits, workspace settings, approvals, memories, and cache.

When you first open a folder in Campfire, it creates a workspace around the folder and opens a chat. It can use that workspace context to answer questions through CodeBot, inspect files, and perform approved actions.

If the folder contains Git metadata, Campfire can use that repository state for source-control awareness. If not, Campfire still works with the folder as a plain workspace.

Choosing the Right Folder

Open the folder that represents the work, not a random parent folder. For example, if a repository lives inside ~/Projects/MyApp, open MyApp, not ~/Projects.

This helps Campfire search the right files, avoid unrelated folders, and keep workspace-local data in the right place. But don't worry, Campfire can still access files elsewhere on your disk (with your Approval), when needed.
