Saved Sessions

TheGitAI saves your sessions locally so you can pick up exactly where you left off. Saved sessions are scoped to the repo you were working in. Their local history remains available on your computer regardless of which account is currently signed in.

List saved sessions

ai --list-sessions

Lists the locally saved sessions for the current repo. This does not require an online ownership check.

Resume a session

ai --session session_abc123
ai --session my-named-session

Resume a saved session by its id or name. Inside a running session you can also use /resume to pick one interactively.

What's kept

• Sessions are stored locally and scoped to the current repo.
• Continuing through the service requires the TheGitAI account used for the session.
• The ten most recent sessions per repo are kept.
• A resumed session restores its conversation history and the work state from where you left off. Mode is session-local and resumes in Default mode.

Change where sessions are stored

Set THEGITAI_SESSION_DIR to override the default local directory where saved sessions live.

You can reopen and read any session saved locally, even while signed out. If you submit a request after signing in with a different account, the server explains that the session is still saved on your computer and asks you to sign in with the account used for that session or start a new one. If you accidentally created a duplicate account, contact support@thegit.ai.
