Project Configuration Folders
Commit a .1devtool/ folder alongside your code so anyone who clones the repo opens into the same workspace — the same browser tabs, database connections, HTTP requests, deploy config, and terminal presets. Credentials stay on each machine, and anything that can run code waits for your approval first.

Why You Need This
How this feature boosts your daily productivity
A repository ships your code but not the project around it — the database you query against, the API requests you test, the browser tabs you keep open, the way your terminals are split. Every new teammate rebuilds that by hand, every second machine repeats it, and because none of it lives in version control it quietly drifts. Project Configuration Folders write that setup into a committable .1devtool/ folder so the workspace travels with the repo, while secrets are stripped into a gitignored, encrypted secrets.local.json and executable config waits for an explicit review before it runs.
