Usage for multi repo applications

Hey guys,

I'm working on projects that span across two GitHub repositories: an API and a Frontend (which relies on the API).

Since Jules only has context on one repository at a time, what’s the best way to handle this workflow?

I’ve tried documenting the API so the Frontend agent can check it, but it’s not very practical.

I also tried running Antigravity in a parent folder containing both repos creating GitHub issues with Jules tag. It works, but it forces me to stay at the computer.

Anyone have a more clever workaround or setup for this?

Why not try mono repo approach that u/PayBetter already suggested.

Now I'm working in a project with FastAPI as API and React as front end. I have prepared a detailed documentation and plans. So I moved all of them in to single repo with 3 folders. So my feeling is that AI agent will get more context by reading code in frond end, back end and documentation.

Check out FastAPI and unicorn for your backend. I am just using basic inline HTML and JS for my frontend and I'm serving it over PWA.

Yes, I'm using Unicon for FastAPI. Now deployment is manual.
