Repository navigation
Desktop app redirects to wrong directory when multiple clones of same repo exist #32785
Closed as not planned
Description
Description
opencode Desktop identifies projects by Git repository identity (VCS), not by filesystem path. When multiple clones of the same Git repository exist at different paths (e.g., ~/Desktop/WorkSpaceA/ProjectA and ~/Desktop/WorkSpaceB/ProjectB both cloned from the same upstream), they are assigned the same project ID (e7dc3c41... in SQLite project table). Opening the non-main clone always redirects to the main worktree directory.
Expected: Each local directory should be treated as an independent workspace.
Workaround: Temporarily change one repo's origin remote to a different URL, open it in opencode (creates separate project), then revert the remote.
