Add context to your workspace

About Workspace Context

Augment is powered by its deep understanding of your code. You’ll need to configure your project’s source in your workspace context to get full codebase understanding in your chats and suggestions.

Sometimes important parts of your system exist outside of the current project. For example, you may have seperate frontend and backend repositories or have many services across multiple repositories. Adding additional codebases to your workspace context will improve the code suggestions and chat responses from Augment.

​

Add context to your workspace

To add context to your workspace, in your .vimrc set g:augment_workspace_folders to a list of paths to the folders you want to add to your workspace context. For example:

let g:augment_workspace_folders = ['/path/to/folder', '~/path/to/another/folder']

You may want to ignore specific folders, like node_modules, see Ignoring files with .augmentignore for more details.

After adding a workspace folder and restarting Vim, the output of the :Augment status command will include the syncing progress for the added folder.
