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.

List saved sessions

ai --list-sessions

Lists the saved sessions for the current repo.

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.
• The five 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.
