Project Rules¶

The projects block lets you enable or disable Zwischen for specific directories. This is useful when you want monitoring on most projects but need to exclude certain repos.

Format¶

projects:
  - path: ~/work/sensitive-repo
    enabled: false
  - path: ~/work
    enabled: true

Each entry has:

Key	Type	Description
`path`	string	Directory path (tilde-expanded)
`enabled`	boolean	Whether Zwischen monitors sessions in this directory

Resolution¶

Entries are evaluated in order. The longest matching path wins. In the example above:

~/work/sensitive-repo → disabled (matches the first, more specific rule)
~/work/any-other-repo → enabled (matches the second rule)
~/personal/project → enabled (no match, Zwischen is enabled by default)

If the projects block is omitted entirely, Zwischen is enabled everywhere.

Common patterns¶

Monitor everything except one repo¶

projects:
  - path: ~/work/internal-tools
    enabled: false

Monitor only specific directories¶

projects:
  - path: ~/
    enabled: false
  - path: ~/work/production
    enabled: true
  - path: ~/work/client-projects
    enabled: true

Tip

Project rules only control whether Zwischen activates at all. They don't affect which profile or model is used — that's handled by Profiles.
