In the chef ai environment, can I feed it with an already existing project so that it can help me build on top of it? I am using an open source project to build upon.
#Feed source or reference code to chef ai

Hi @gusty stirrup. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:
I'm sorry, but the knowledge sources do not provide explicit information about uploading or feeding an existing codebase or open source project directly into Chef AI for further development. The available documentation and support threads discuss using Chef to generate new apps from prompts and provide tips for effective prompting, but they do not mention a feature for importing or referencing an existing project as a starting point within the Chef environment.
If you want to use an existing Convex project as a template, the recommended approach is to clone the project code to a new repository and run npx convex dev, which allows you to connect to a new or existing Convex project. However, this workflow is not described as being integrated with Chef AI specifically, but rather with the general Convex development flow Discord support thread: adding a project to an account.
If you need more advanced integration or import features in Chef, you may want to reach out to Convex support or monitor future updates, as the documentation does not currently cover this use case.
Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Can my friend clone my project in his own account? @dire bloom

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:
Yes, your friend can clone your project code and set it up under their own Convex account. The recommended approach is for your friend to clone the project repository, and then run npx convex dev in the project directory. If there is no .env.local file present, Convex will prompt them to either connect to an existing project or create a new one. This allows your friend to use your project as a template and set it up as a new project under their own account, with their own deployments and data Discord support thread: adding a project to an account.
