Project groups
When you manage many repositories, the sidebar gets crowded. Project groups collect projects into named, collapsible sections.
Creating a group
Section titled “Creating a group”Open the caret on the split button in the sidebar footer and choose New group, or right-click empty space below the project list and pick it from the menu. An inline text input appears - type a name and press Enter. The new group appears after the existing groups, above the ungrouped projects.
Moving projects into groups
Section titled “Moving projects into groups”There are two ways to move a project into a group:
- Drag and drop - Drag a project onto a group header. The project moves into that group at the top of its list.
- Context menu - Right-click any project, select Move to, then choose a group name.
To remove a project from a group, right-click it and select Remove from group. The project moves to the ungrouped section below all groups.
Managing groups
Section titled “Managing groups”Hover over a group header to reveal its Group options kebab, which opens the same menu as right-clicking the header:
| Action | How |
|---|---|
| Rename | Edit inline, press Enter to confirm. |
| Delete | Projects in the group become ungrouped - nothing is lost. |
| Move up / Move down | Move the group higher or lower in the list. |
| Collapse/Expand | Click anywhere on the group header. The pill on the header is the project count, expanded or collapsed. |
Sidebar layout
Section titled “Sidebar layout”The sidebar renders in this order:
- Groups - each with its own collapsible section containing its projects
- Ungrouped projects - listed below all groups
Within each group (and among ungrouped projects), projects are ordered by their explicit position, which you can change by dragging.
Deleting a group
Section titled “Deleting a group”When you delete a group, a confirmation dialog shows the group name and the number of affected projects. The projects become ungrouped - no projects or data are deleted, only the group container is removed.
