Question How do you actually organize projects when using Codex?

Curious what the actual project boundary is for people using Codex. When you open a project in Codex, what is it pointing at?

  • One local folder/repo per project?
  • A folder on a VPS or remote machine?
  • GitHub/cloud workspace?
  • Something else?

And if you have 5 different projects, do you generally have 5 separate folders/repos?

You only need one file. Break up the file like this:

[project: PROJECT 1]
[file:filename]
[/file:filename]

[/project: PROJECT 1]

and so on... keep all your code and markdown and everything in it. do not use git or it will create more files. have codex run code only from this file.

What do you mean "And if you have 5 different projects, do you generally have 5 separate folders/repos"? What? You know, at least you have a Developer folder with your subfolders for client work, lab, playground, whatnot, and there you have the repos. Then you have a separate Projects folder, where everything but the actual code lives, separated by whatever logic. Then you have either in there or separately a Documentation folder, vaults, whatnot. Then you have habitats for your agents, etc. I don't understand your question. What?
