Cursor Multi-Repo

Overview

Configure multi-root workspaces so Cursor sees only repositories and files needed for the task, preserving repository ownership and context boundaries.

Prerequisites

• Explicit authorization for each repository and a data-classification review for shared roots.
• Reviewed rules and ignore files in each root; only necessary filesystem permissions.

Instructions

1. Start with one repository, add another root only for a defined cross-repository task, and remove it afterward.
2. Use repository-specific rules/ignore files and verify indexing scope before asking a cross-repo question.
3. Keep changes separated by repository and use each repository's normal review and test process.

Output

• A deliberately scoped multi-root workspace with documented context and ownership boundaries.
