Sorry, sure this has been asked a million times before, but as I can’t see the answer online…

What’s the recommended way of having non-colocated channels? I.e., I’d like separate channels to have their working tree in separate folders, the same way bazaar/breezy do it by default. I like the simplicity of being able to see what I am working with in the file browser, and using tools like Meld to compare two branches graphically, where I am miles more productive.

Should I simply point pijul to its directory using the `--repository` argument? Or is there another way that’s better?

Thanks!

I’ve just cloned into a separate repository and push/pulled between them. Does require more disk as the contents of `.pijul` isn’t shared

Guess it’s something, thanks for the input.
