How to Keep Entire Checkpoints Separate from Your Code

Storing a record of your agent sessions solves the biggest friction point for developers: limited context. On the surface, this may look like a dormant log, but Entire transforms those records into procedural memory. By default, the , snapshots of your prompts, agent transcripts, and the state of your work at each step, on a dedicated branch in the same repository called . Those conversations might include context their company doesn't want to share publicly or with external collaborators.

If any of those reasons resonate, you have two main paths to a more private workflow.

Push checkpoints to a separate private repo

This is the sweet spot if you’re working on a public or shared project but still want a history that you (and maybe your trusted teammates) can access.

1. Create a private repo for your checkpoints

On GitHub, create an empty private repo with any name you want. In this example, we’ll use myorg/checkpoints-private. This is where all your agent sessions will live. You don't need to add a README or initialize it. Entire will push the first checkpoint branch on its own.

2. Point Entire at the new repo.

From inside your project, run:

entire configure --checkpoint-remote github:myorg/checkpoints-private

The format is provider:owner/repo. Today, github is the supported provider. This writes the setting to .

Keep your agent sessions local

If you want the highest level of privacy, you can keep your agent sessions local and opt out of pushing them to remote using the following command:

entire configure --skip-push-sessions

This modifies .entire/settings.json with the following values:

{

  "strategy_options": {

    "push_sessions": false

  }

}

This setting still allows you to store your sessions locally. For example, you can still before it hits git.

Conclusion

We recognize that your agent workflow is going to look different based on who you are, the codebase you're in, and your team's unique security needs. Entire is built to adapt to those needs.
