pi-cd

A pi extension that adds a /cd <path> command for switching the session's working directory without leaving pi.

pi normally fixes cwd at session creation; built-in bash cd only affects subprocesses. This extension forks the current session into the target directory (via SessionManager.forkFrom + ctx.switchSession), so conversation history is preserved.

Inside pi:

/cd ~/Developer/some-project
/cd ../sibling
/cd /absolute/path
/cd -            # back to previous directory
/cd              # home ($HOME)

Tab completion offers matching directories.

pi install git:github.com/Acelogic/pi-cd

pi update git:github.com/Acelogic/pi-cd

Then /reload inside pi.

• Switching sessions replays the conversation in the new session — there's a brief reload.
• Session files live in the session dir determined by pi; a forked session is a new file in that directory (not an edit of the old one). Your original session is preserved and can be resumed via pi --resume.
• Symlinks are resolved via fs.realpathSync.native to match how pi records cwd.
