Setting up codebases

Use fl0w as a coding agent that can work along all of your codebases — on your machine or on your personal remote computer. See the Quickstart for the remote filesystem and @ file attachments in the slash commands reference.

Cloning a repo via PAT

1. Open Computer > Terminal in the fl0w remote app (after the Quickstart sign-up).

   

2. We recommend using a PAT (Personal Access Token) to clone your repo, make commits, and push with your own GitHub account

   • Go to GitHub Settings
   • Create a PAT with the scopes you'd like your token/fl0w to have
   • Copy your PAT

3. Clone into the default working area, embedding your PAT in the remote URL:

   git clone https://<username>:<PAT>@github.com/your-org/your-repo.git

4. Fl0w can now work with version control in your codebase. For login-heavy Git hosting flows in the browser, combine this with Browser use or store a PAT via fl0w secrets when appropriate.

Long-running coding tasks can be turned into automated workflows so they keep going with your laptop closed.
