#89 · /branch, copy the conversation into a new session and try another direction, the original kept

· Memory & context · CLI / Gateway

it copies your conversation with your Hermes Agent into a new session, history included, and you carry on in the copy.

want to try a different idea without losing where you are?

type this in the chat:

/branch

useful before a big change of direction, or to compare two answers from the same starting point!

name the branch if you like: /branch plan-b. without a name it takes the original title with a number.
