Root Cause

Bug Description Claude desktop app doesn't segregate different clones of one project into multiple sidebars in the tab. Multiple clones show up under the same project because they are the same git repository. Codex does it perfectly, but Claude doesn't do it. That's why I have to try out Codex. I don't love the latency, but I have to move. Terminal Chat Interface is great, but it's not the same for totally handoff tasks that I can do with the desktop app.

extent analysis

TL;DR

The Claude desktop app may need a unique identifier or differentiation mechanism to separate clones of the same Git repository into distinct sidebars.

Guidance

  • Investigate how Codex handles multiple clones of the same repository to identify potential differences in implementation.
  • Consider adding a unique identifier or prefix to each clone's project name to help the Claude app distinguish between them.
  • Review the app's configuration or settings to see if there's an option to customize how projects are organized or displayed in the sidebar.
  • Look into the Git repository configuration to determine if there's a way to differentiate clones, such as using a specific branch or commit hash.

Notes

The exact solution may depend on the internal implementation of the Claude desktop app and how it interacts with Git repositories. Without more information about the app's architecture or codebase, it's difficult to provide a more specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Add a unique identifier or prefix to each clone's project name to help the Claude app distinguish between them, as this is a relatively simple and non-invasive change that may resolve the issue.
