Projects

The helm-browse-projects command can be used to browse projects. It supports version control (VC) systems like Git and Mercurial (Hg).

When you work only with git, you don’t need to install extra project management packages (e.g. projectile), you have everything you need with a single command helm-browse-project, each time you browse a project, it is recorded in helm-browse-project-history and accessible from the command helm-projects-history. See helm-ls-git features.

Usage

Install the following extensions as necessary:

• helm-ls-git
• helm-ls-hg

If your directory is not under VC, you can still use helm-browse-project. A universal prefix (C-u) is required to recursively create the project file list and cache it.

From helm-find-files

You can launch helm-browse-project from helm-find-files to browse projects unrelated to your current buffer.

You can also bookmark your directories with C-x r m from helm-find-files.
