# Repository Workspace - Default Project View ## Problem Currently, clicking on a project shows a generic placeholder. Users need to navigate to repositories separately. There's no easy way to browse repository files or see project content at a glance. ## Solution Create a **Repository Workspace** as the default project view that provides: 1. **File browser** for repositories - browse files and directories 2. **Branch selector** - switch between branches 3. **Mini file viewer** - view file contents with syntax highlighting 4. **Quick edit capability** - small edits without leaving the browser 5. **Repository overview** - see all repos in the project This becomes the default view when clicking on a project, making the project the central workspace. ## Key Features ### Default Project View - Clicking any project opens the repository workspace - Shows first repo by default (or repo selector if multiple) - File browser on the left, content viewer on the right ### File Browser - Tree view of repository files and directories - Expandable/collapsible folders - Click file to view contents - Breadcrumb navigation ### Branch Management - Branch selector dropdown - Shows current branch - Lists all branches (local + remote) - Switch branches to view different states ### File Viewer - Syntax highlighting for common file types - Line numbers - View mode (read-only by default) - Edit mode toggle for small changes ### Repository Navigation - List all repositories in the project - Quick switch between repos - Repository cards with metadata (last commit, branch count) ## Benefits - **Central hub**: Project becomes the main workspace, not just a container - **Quick access**: See code immediately without extra clicks - **Contextual**: Browse files while viewing commit history - **Familiar**: Similar to GitHub/GitLab file browser ## Scope ### What stays: - Existing repository list page (moves to sub-page) - Git history visualization - Repository creation/deletion ### What's new: - Repository workspace page (default project view) - File browser component - File viewer component - Branch selector component - API endpoints for file operations ### What's changed: - Project list items become clickable links - Default project route shows workspace instead of placeholder
