Problem Statement

I am a product manager who uses Claude Code through the Claude App. I don't store my projects locally, I mostly store them on github.

When I initiate a chat session it defaults to working on my latest project, which is stored in github - this is indicated in the bottom left of the chat window with a github logo. However, when I want to switch to other repos and I click on the file, all I can choose is "choose a different folder" which allows me to access local files but not work within one of my common github repos.

Proposed Solution

Allow github repos commonly used in CC to be accessed from the menu in the text prompt, in addition to local folders.
