question:
Can Cursor IDE read from 2 projects and work on 1 project for copying code?
current:
I can use Cursor in project_b. It reads and modify files in project_b.
new:
Now I have another project_a.
I want Cursor to read from project_a and project_b, and then work on project_b.
(Mostly for understanding and copying functionality from one project to another.)
Maybe this is the solution? :
I think you should be. I have a bunch of projects, although I sort of cheated. I have ‘1 project’ c:\github.com
And in there I have sub folders for each project (with their own GitHub Repos). Mostly so I can see different projects and go back and forth. But even without that you can with giving permission to view outside your projects folder I think?
WARNING: That increases risk as you are giving AI access to other folders. Although
that other solution you found looks like it would do the trick. Did it work?
My quote above “add folder to workspace” did work.
