Multi-Repository Workspaces
Work in a folder that contains several independent Git repositories without opening each one as a separate project. 1DevTool detects nested repos, lets you pick the active repo in the Git Client, and keeps changes, history, worktrees, graph, pull, push, and terminal launch actions scoped to that choice.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
Modern projects often live as a stack of related repositories: an API, a web app, a shared package, docs, and short-lived branch worktrees. Treating that parent folder as one normal repo hides the real structure, while opening every repo separately breaks the workspace you actually use. Multi-Repository Workspaces keep the whole folder visible while every Git operation is narrowed to the repository you choose, so change review, worktree creation, and AI terminal launches happen in the right place.
