This guide walks you through adding a project to Manager and understanding the basic Project and Task concepts.

​
Core Concepts

Project

A Project corresponds to either a local folder on your machine or a directory on a remote server. It can be a code repository, a design workspace, or any environment where you want Manager to participate.

Task (or Session)

Each time you assign work to Manager, a new task is created.

​
Task States

A task has four possible states:
StateDescription
RunningThe agent is actively executing the task
PendingThe task is queued and has not started yet
CompletedThe task has finished execution
ErrorThe task encountered an issue during execution

​

Click the + button in the top-right corner of the panel, then select Open Project.
3

Choose a folder

In the file picker, choose your local folder and confirm.
4

Start working

The project will appear in the list, and you can start assigning tasks immediately.

​
Connect to a Remote Project (SSH)

1

Select Connect via SSH

Click the + button and select Connect via SSH.
2

Configure the connection

Enter the remote server address, username, and key path to configure the connection.
