Sessions and project state¶
Each conversation is stored as a JSON-lines file under a per-project directory,
so /resume, /fork, and wa --continue only ever offer sessions from the
project you are working in. A project's name is derived from the working
directory's git remotes when it has them (so every checkout of the same
upstream shares one history), falling back to the directory's own name
otherwise.
Sessions live under Wallah's data directory, whose location follows the platform convention:
- Linux:
~/.local/share/wallah/sessions/<project>/<id>.jsonl(honouringXDG_DATA_HOMEwhen set) - macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/wallah/sessions/<project>/<id>.jsonl
The <id> is a ULID, and it is what wa --resume <id> expects.
