Command - lenscloud project use

The lenscloud project use command lets you select and switch to a LENS Project from Nectar and set it as your active project on your developer machine.

If the project’s repository is not already on your machine, Chordium will clone it automatically. If it exists, it will pull the latest changes.

Prerequisites

  • You must have completed the lenscloud config setup.
  • Git Personal Access Token with access to the project repositories.
  • Network access to your Nectar instance and Git provider.

Running the Command

Terminal window
lenscloud project use

When you run the command, Chordium will:

  • Fetch the list of available projects from Nectar that has Repo.

  • Display your current active project (if any).

  • Prompt you to select a project from the list.

How it Works

🔹 Selecting a Project

Once you choose a project:

  • If not cloned: Chordium will clone the repository into your default projects directory.

  • If already cloned: Chordium will run a git pull to ensure your local copy is up-to-date.
