Review how Ghostable fits Desktop, CLI, and automation together.

​
What a Project Represents

A project is the Ghostable record for one application or service inside an organization. It groups:
  • The environments that belong to that app.
  • Stack metadata such as language, framework, and deployment provider.
  • Activity and validation context tied to that app.
  • Optional local folder linkage through the Ghostable manifest.
Projects are the boundary where most day-to-day work starts. Ghostable project view showing environments within a single project in the web app.

​
Stack Metadata and Local Context

Ghostable stores lightweight, non-secret project metadata so clients can tailor workflows. Common examples include the primary language, framework, and deployment platform. The local manifest, .ghostable/ghostable.yaml, lets clients map a local folder back to the project. It contains safe metadata only and is intended to live in version control.

​
Where You Manage Projects

  • Desktop: create projects from the launcher or organization window, then manage local folder linkage from Project Settings.
  • CLI: initialize or link a repo with ghostable init and keep the manifest in sync locally.
  • Web app: organization owners can review project-level settings outside the local clients.
