description: Start syncing a project in this folder — create a new BearDrive project or connect an existing one, whole folder or a shared subfolder, and start the sync daemon
argument-hint: "[folder] [--name <project> | --project <p-id>] [--shared <dir>]"
---
Start syncing a project with BearDrive. Arguments: `$ARGUMENTS` (optional
folder, optional `--name`/`--project`/`--shared`).
Follow these steps:
1. **Check the bdrive CLI is installed**: run `command -v bdrive`. If
missing, offer to install it (`brew install runbear-io/tap/beardrive`,
or `go install github.com/runbear-io/beardrive/cmd/bdrive@latest`) and
wait for the user's choice before installing.
2. **Sign in if needed**: run `bdrive login --status`. With no server or a
stale token, run `bdrive login` (tell the user a browser window is
coming; it completes by itself). Default server is beardrive.ai; pass a
self-hosted URL if the user mentioned one.
3. **Initialize**: if the folder already contains `.bdrive/`, just run
`bdrive init --yes` there — it resumes syncing (including after a
rename/move). Otherwise decide the project name (argument, or ask, or
default to the folder name) and scope (whole folder, or only a shared
subfolder like `./wiki` via `--shared`), then run it non-interactively:
```sh
bdrive init --name <project> --yes # whole folder
bdrive init --name <project> --shared wiki # only ./wiki syncs
```
4. **Verify**: run `bdrive status <folder>` and confirm the daemon is
running and pending is 0. Summarize: project name/id, what syncs, and
that edits propagate to every team member within seconds.
For the full team setup (CLAUDE.md guidance + per-project sync hooks in
`.claude/settings.json`), suggest `/beardrive:install` instead.
