## Install

```sh
paseo plugin add npm:paseo-auto-pin@0.4.0
```

Paseo 0.8 GitHub fallback:

```sh
paseo plugin add stv1024/paseo-auto-pin --ref 2685698055b7cb6476392f3b0661a5c56ac49415
```

## Caveats

- Requires Paseo >=0.9.1 <0.10.0 and Node.js/npm on the daemon host.
- Uses Paseo's internal daemon client API for workspace pinning.
- Rules apply to newly created workspaces only; existing pins and restored workspaces stay unchanged.

### Installation notes

```

Or install from GitHub:

```bash
paseo plugin install https://github.com/stv1024/paseo-auto-pin

on for all new workspaces.

### Source README

#### Auto-Pin for Paseo

Automatically pin new [Paseo](https://paseo.sh) workspaces, with exceptions for individual projects.

Keep everyday work near the top of your sidebar and leave experiments unpinned.
Auto-Pin runs in the background, even when its panel is closed.

![A newly created workspace automatically appears in the Pinned section of the Paseo sidebar.](docs/demo.gif)

Create a workspace. Auto-Pin moves it into **Pinned** automatically.

##### Install

Requires **Paseo 0.9.1–0.9.x** and Node.js/npm on the machine running the Paseo daemon.

```bash
paseo plugin install npm:paseo-auto-pin@0.4.0
```

Or install from GitHub:

```bash
paseo plugin install https://github.com/stv1024/paseo-auto-pin
```

Open **Auto-Pin** in the sidebar to adjust your settings. It starts with auto-pin
on for all new workspaces.

##### Choose what gets pinned

The **Pin new workspaces by default** switch sets the behavior for projects
without an override. Each project has three choices:

| Rule | What happens when you create a workspace |
| --- | --- |
| **Follow default** | Uses the current default switch. |
| **Always** | Pins it, even when the default is off. |
| **Never** | Leaves it unpinned, even when the default is on. |

For example, set your main project to **Always**, experiments to **Never**, and
leave everything else on **Follow default**.

Projects appear automatically from Paseo. You can search by name or folder path.
Rules apply to new workspaces belonging to that project, including worktrees.

###### A few things to know

- Changes save automatically and are shared by clients connected to the same daemon.
- Rules only affect workspaces created afterward. Existing pins stay as they are.
- Restoring an archived workspace does not pin it again.
- Auto-Pin never removes a pin. You can still pin or unpin workspaces yourself.
- **Always** and **Never** override the default switch. To pause the entire plugin,
  disable it in Paseo's plugin settings.

In the Command Center, use **Auto-Pin: Toggle Default** for a quick change, or
**Auto-Pin: Open Panel** to manage project rules.

##### Update

For an installation from npm or Git:

```bash
paseo plugin update auto-pin --check
paseo plugin update auto-pin
```

Updating from 0.3 keeps your existing on/off setting. Every project starts on
**Follow default** until you choose otherwise.

Auto-Pin **0.4.x** supports Paseo **0.9.1–0.9.x**.
For Paseo 0.8, use Auto-Pin 0.2.0; for Paseo 0.7, use 0.1.0.

##### Need a hand?

If a new workspace is not pinned, check its project rule and the default switch.
If you just changed a setting on another device, press **Refresh** in the panel.

For errors or unexpected behavior, [open an issue](https://github.com/stv1024/paseo-auto-pin/issues).
Include your Paseo and Auto-Pin versions, the rule you selected, and what happened.
Logs are available with `paseo plugin logs auto-pin`; remove private paths before
sharing them.

Have a workflow this does not cover? Describe it in an issue. A concrete example
