TRANSMISSION
Multi-repo support landed.
Hi there, we just shipped a change to how
every Twill task starts. Each workspace now has one persistent
dev environment that hosts every connected repo, much like a
developer's laptop. Tasks run in a cheap fork of it, so the
agent inherits your running services, installed deps, and
.env files from the first
second.
|
|
|
One persistent dev environment
Each workspace gets one long-lived VM. Set it up once
(install deps, configure
.env files, get the
dev server running) and every future task starts from
that state instead of from a blank box.
|
|
Forked for every task
Tasks start instantly with your full stack already
running. No reinstall, no rebuild, no waiting for the
dev server to come up.
|
|
Multi-repo workspaces
Connect every repo you work in to the same workspace.
The agent figures out which repo a Linear ticket or
Slack request belongs to, so you stop hand-routing work.
One task can touch the frontend, the API, and a shared
library in one go, then open a PR in each repo at once.
|
|
|
|
|
Because tasks now inherit from your dev env, the quality of
that env is the quality of every run. Spend ten minutes
getting it right and every future task benefits. Two ways to
do it:
|
|
Dev Env mode
/ let the agent do it
|
|
Start a task in Dev Env mode and the
specialized Dev Environment Agent runs directly on the
VM (not in a fork). Anything it installs, configures, or
writes to
.env persists to
every future task fork.
|
|
|
SSH in directly
/ hands-on control
|
|
Click Ssh & Preview on the
Environment page to drop into the VM from your local
terminal, VS Code, or Cursor. Install packages, edit
config, start a dev server.
|
|
|
The Environment page is where you manage the VM, env
variables, connected repos, and SSH access. Start there.
|
|
|
|
One-time migration caveat: chat context from tasks created
before this release won’t carry into follow-up messages.
Existing tasks are still there and the history is still
readable. The agent just starts fresh when you reply. New
tasks behave normally.
