| 6 | +# CodeGate Workspaces |
| 7 | + |
| 8 | +## Overview |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +The "Workspaces" feature in CodeGate is designed to help users organize and |
| 11 | +customize their interactions with large language models (LLMs). Each workspace |
| 12 | +acts as a distinct environment with its own configurations and resources, |
| 13 | +allowing for personalized settings and efficient management of different |
| 14 | +projects or tasks. |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +## Key Features |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +- **Custom Configurations**: Each workspace can have its own settings and system |
| 19 | + prompts for interacting with LLMs, enabling tailored responses and behaviors. |
| 20 | +- **Resource Management**: Workspaces act as containers for bucketing resources |
| 21 | + within CodeGate, making it easier to manage and switch between different projects. |
| 22 | +- **Isolation and Independence**: Configurations in one workspace do not affect |
| 23 | + others, providing clarity and precision in how settings are applied. |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## Working with Workspaces |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +### Creating a Workspace |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +To create a new workspace, use the following command from your chat prompt interface: |
| 30 | + |
| 31 | +```bash |
| 32 | +codegate workspace add $NAME |
| 33 | +``` |
| 34 | + |
| 35 | +This initializes a new workspace with the specified name. |
| 36 | + |
| 37 | +Note that workspace names may only contain alphanumeric characters with dashes. |
| 38 | + |
| 39 | +### Switching Workspaces |
| 40 | + |
| 41 | +To switch between workspaces, you can activate a different workspace by using: |
| 42 | + |
| 43 | +```bash |
| 44 | +codegate workspace activate $NAME |
| 45 | +``` |
| 46 | + |
| 47 | +The active workspace is the current environment for commands and configurations. |
| 48 | + |
| 49 | +### Listing Workspaces |
| 50 | + |
| 51 | +For a quickly accessible overview of all workspaces, including which is currently |
| 52 | +active, use: |
| 53 | + |
| 54 | +```bash |
| 55 | +codegate workspace list |
| 56 | +``` |
| 57 | + |
| 58 | +### Customizing System Prompts |
| 59 | + |
| 60 | +One of the key advantages of workspaces is the ability to set a custom system |
| 61 | +prompt. This can be done using the following command: |
| 62 | + |
| 63 | +```bash |
| 64 | +codegate system-prompt -w $WORKSPACE_NAME set $SYSTEM_PROMPT |
| 65 | +``` |
| 66 | + |
| 67 | +Replace `$WORKSPACE_NAME` with your desired workspace and `$SYSTEM_PROMPT` with |
| 68 | +your custom prompt text. |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +Note that if you don't specify a workspace explicitly, the command will take an |
| 71 | +the active workspace into use. |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +#### Example |
| 74 | + |
| 75 | +Suppose you want to set a custom system prompt for a workspace named "project-alpha": |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +```bash |
| 78 | +codegate system-prompt -w project-alpha set Start each conversation with "Welcome to Project Alpha Assistant. How can I help today?" |
| 79 | +``` |
| 80 | + |
| 81 | +This will enhance your prompt when you're working in that workspace. |
| 82 | + |
| 83 | +### Archiving a workspace |
| 84 | + |
| 85 | +In order to "archive" a workspace, use the following command in your prompt: |
| 86 | + |
| 87 | +```bash |
| 88 | +codegate workspace remove $WORKSPACE_NAME |
| 89 | +``` |
| 90 | + |
| 91 | +This will not fully delete the workspace, but will set it in "archived mode". You |
| 92 | +may still recover an archived workspace. |
| 93 | + |
| 94 | +### Listing Archived Workspaces |
| 95 | + |
| 96 | +To view a list of all archived workspaces, use the following command: |
| 97 | + |
| 98 | +```bash |
| 99 | +codegate workspace list-archived |
| 100 | +``` |
| 101 | + |
| 102 | +This command will display all workspaces that have been archived, allowing you |
| 103 | +to review which projects are stored for potential future use. |
| 104 | + |
| 105 | +### Restoring an Archived Workspace |
| 106 | + |
| 107 | +If you need to reactivate an archived workspace, you can restore it using the |
| 108 | +following command: |
| 109 | + |
| 110 | +```bash |
| 111 | +codegate workspace restore $WORKSPACE_NAME |
| 112 | +``` |
| 113 | + |
| 114 | +Replace `$WORKSPACE_NAME` with the name of the workspace you wish to restore. |
| 115 | +Once restored, it will appear in your active workspace list. |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +### Deleting an Archived Workspace |
| 118 | + |
| 119 | +In cases where an archived workspace is no longer needed and can be safely removed, |
| 120 | +you can permanently delete it with: |
| 121 | + |
| 122 | +```bash |
| 123 | +codegate workspace delete-archived $WORKSPACE_NAME |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +Make sure to double-check before executing this command, as it will permanently |
| 127 | +remove the specified workspace from your system. |
| 128 | + |
| 129 | +## Best Practices |
| 130 | + |
| 131 | +- Utilize workspaces to separate different projects or objectives, ensuring each |
| 132 | + has a dedicated configuration. |
| 133 | +- Regularly review and update the system prompts to align with the evolving needs |
| 134 | + of your projects. |
| 135 | +- Use resource bucketing to keep assets organized and easily accessible within |
| 136 | + their respective workspaces. |
