Multi-Project Workflow

Multi-Project Support

Rally supports working across multiple repositories simultaneously. Each project gets its own isolated worktrees and dispatch tracking.

Onboarding Multiple Projects

rally onboard owner/repo1
rally onboard owner/repo2
rally onboard owner/repo3

Or onboard from different orgs:

rally onboard alice/frontend
rally onboard bob/backend
rally onboard company/shared-lib

Dashboard with Multiple Projects

When you have multiple projects, the dashboard groups dispatches by project:

Rally Dashboard

 Issue/PR                                Status               Changes   Age

Dispatching to Specific Projects

When you press n in the dashboard with multiple projects:

Rally shows a project picker
Select the project
Choose Issue or PR
Enter the number

From CLI:

rally dispatch issue 42 --project frontend
rally dispatch pr 99 --project backend

Project Isolation

Each project maintains separate:

Worktrees (in project/.worktrees/)
Dispatch tracking (in ~/rally/active/)
Team configuration (symlinked to project)

Cleaning Across Projects

rally clean --all           # Cleans all done dispatches across all projects
rally clean                  # Interactive cleanup with project grouping

Best Practices

Use descriptive project names — Rally uses the repo name by default
Clean regularly — Use rally clean to remove merged dispatches
Check status — rally status shows all projects at a glance
