Running Claude Code across multiple repos without losing context

Originally published at claudeguide.io/claude-code-workflow-multi-repo

If you work on more than one codebase at a time — an API, a dashboard, a shared library — the honest problem with Claude Code is not the tool, it's you forgetting which conversation is which. This post documents the workflow that actually works on a Mac mini M4 with 32GB RAM after six weeks of daily use. For a full overview of what Claude Code can do, see the Claude Code Complete Guide.

TL;DR

One Claude Code session = one repository. Do not mix.
