Connect a repository

Any local Git repository can join a workspace. Models then work on branches, and every change they make is a normal commit you can review.

Add the repository

1. Clone it locallyLumen works with folders on your disk. Clone the repository as usual.
2. Add the folderDrag it into the workspace sidebar.
3. Choose a base branchUsually main. Models never commit to it directly.

Branches and commits

Each task gets its own branch named after it, for example lumen/fix-token-refresh. The owner commits there. When the work is handed off, the receiver continues on the same branch, so the history shows who did what.

# git log on a task branch
a41c2e1  GPT       add regression tests for token refresh
9be07d3  DeepSeek  sliding-window refresh in auth/refresh.ts
51f0aa8  DeepSeek  extract refresh lock into helper

Pull requests

If the repository has a GitHub or GitLab remote and you've signed in under Settings → Integrations, Lumen can open pull requests for finished tasks. The PR description lists every handoff that led to it.
