If You Know,
You Ginko

Ginko is a git-native CLI that captures and restores AI development context. It stores session logs, sprint progress, patterns, and gotchas alongside your code. When you run ginko start, your AI assistant has immediate access to your project history, decisions, and current state—no re-explaining needed.

Yes. Ginko works with Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, and any AI assistant that accepts context. It outputs structured markdown that any LLM can understand. Your context travels with your code, not locked into any specific tool.

No. Ginko is git-native and works entirely offline by default. Your context files live in your repo's .ginko/ directory. The Pro plan offers optional cloud sync for team collaboration, but your actual code never leaves your machine.

A README is static documentation. Ginko captures dynamic context—what you're working on now, decisions made this week, patterns discovered yesterday, gotchas hit today. It's living knowledge that updates as you work and is structured for AI consumption, not just human reading.

Free gives you full local functionality—session handoff, pattern capture, gotcha alerts, and git-native storage for one user. Pro adds team sync, so patterns and context flow across your whole team. When one dev discovers a gotcha, everyone benefits.

Under 2 minutes. Run npm install -g @ginkoai/cli, then ginko init in your project. That's it. Ginko starts capturing context immediately. No configuration files, no accounts required for local use.
