Problem Statement

A Claude code session cannot expand repo access once setup. This needs to happen automatically via GitHub access like you can do in VS code or easily modify the environment by adding additional repos that you have access to.

This is way too difficult currently because you have to literally create a whole new session every time you want to include an additional repo to the current session to access and analyze and import / copy code from.

In Kiro this happens automatically and although you only connect one repo at a time, Kiro has access to all of your other repos as long as you have Github connected.

Proposed Solution

Allow User to add additional reposts on the fly at any time or can I get home and give it back you don’t need to connect additional reboot to a session.

I have to get up connected to my Claude code, but it just doesn’t work beyond any initial repos that you select when creating the fashion.
