Repositories

The repos section declares all repositories in your workspace. Each repo keeps its own git history while being visible to AI agents as part of a unified workspace.

Schema

YAML

repos:
  - name: api
    path: ./api
    url: git@github.com:company/api.git
    tech: nestjs
    description: "REST API and GraphQL gateway"
    env_file: .env
    commands:
      install: pnpm install
      dev: pnpm dev
      build: pnpm build
      lint: pnpm lint
      test: pnpm test
    skills: [backend-nestjs]
    tools:
      node: "22.18.0"

TypeScript

With hub.config.ts, use the type-safe repo helpers that pre-fill commands for each framework:

import { defineConfig, repo } from "@arvoretech/hub/config";

export default defineConfig({
  repos: [
    repo.nestjs("api", "git@github.com:company/api.git"),
    repo.nextjs("frontend", "git@github.com:company/frontend.git"),
    repo.elixir("backend", "git@github.com:company/backend.git"),
    repo.custom("docs", "git@github.com:company/docs.git", { tech: "astro" }),
  ],
});

Available helpers: repo.nestjs(), repo.nextjs(), repo.react(), repo.reactNative(), repo.elixir(), repo.go(), repo.python(), repo.custom(). All accept an optional overrides object for commands, skills, env_file, etc. See Configuration for details.

Field	Type	Required	Description
`name`	string	Yes	Unique identifier for the repo
`path`	string	Yes	Local path relative to hub root
`url`	string	Yes	Git clone URL
`tech`	string	No	Technology stack (nestjs, nextjs, elixir, react, react-native, etc.)
`description`	string	No	Human-readable description
`display_name`	string	No	Custom label shown in the `.code-workspace` file. Defaults to `name (Tech)`
`env_file`	string	No	Path to environment file relative to repo root
`commands`	object	No	Named commands
`skills`	string[]	No	Skills to attach to this repo
`tools`	object	No	Per-repo tool versions (merged with global)

Commands

The commands object maps command names to shell commands. These are used by hub setup (for install) and available to agents:

commands:
  install: pnpm install
  dev: pnpm dev
  build: pnpm build
  lint: pnpm lint
  test: pnpm vitest run
  migrate: pnpm drizzle-kit push

Built-in command names: install, dev, build, lint, test. You can add custom names.

Adding Repositories

# Add from URL (name inferred from repo)
hub add-repo git@github.com:company/api.git

# With explicit name and tech
hub add-repo git@github.com:company/api.git --name api --tech nestjs

This updates hub.yaml, .gitignore, and .cursorignore automatically.

Git Operations

# Pull latest in all repos
hub pull

# Show git status for all repos
hub status

# Run any command across all repos
hub exec "git checkout main"
hub exec "git stash"

How the Context Pattern Works

The magic is in two files:

# .gitignore — repos are excluded from the hub's git
api
frontend
backend

# .cursorignore — but included for AI context
!api/
!frontend/
!backend/

Your AI sees all repos as one workspace. Each repo keeps its own git history. hub generate creates these files automatically.
