Overview

Open the Overview tab to see how a project is doing at a glance: what is working, what was done lately, which worktrees can go, and how new sessions start. It is the first tab of a project’s page.

How to use it

Section titled “How to use it”

At the top, a row of numbers: working now (in yellow when there are some), sessions, last active, worktrees (with how many can go, in green), queued and triggers. Click a number, other than last active, to open its tab.

Under it:

  • Recent sessions: the four newest, each with its state (Needs you, Working, Finished and so on), its branch and its age. Click one to open it. All 205 › opens the Sessions tab.
  • Worktrees: the worktrees in use first, then the ones that can go, each with a badge: in use, merged or no changes. Click one to open the Worktrees tab. Clean up 2 › removes the ones that can go, after the confirmation.
  • How sessions start here: the profile and the defaults new sessions start with, such as Opus · high effort · worktree, or Profile defaults or Global defaults when the project sets none. Change in Settings › opens the Settings tab.

Outside a git repository, the Worktrees panel says Not a git repository. While Switchboard reads the repository, it says Reading….
