CodeNest records development projects stored on local disks, remote SSH hosts, or separate workspaces. It stores project groups, project types, source repositories, default editors, language metadata, and license metadata, then lets you open projects or locate their paths from the home view.
- Record local projects and remote SSH projects with groups, project types, source repositories, default editors, license information, and language information.
- Configure project roots or import projects from recent-project records of supported editors and CLI tools.
- Analyze project language composition, read license snippets, and show the results in the project list and editor view.
- Use launch configurations for multiple editors and CLI tools, with custom command templates.
- Open a project from the project list, reveal it in the file manager, open it in a terminal, copy its path, or open its source repository link.
- Manually upload or download project data through WebDAV. Downloads create a local backup first.
Download the installer for your system from the Releases page.
