Local Projects with Amp
Amp provides a great development environment for using agents to write code. The Amp app can directly create threads for local projects if the Mac is enabled as a runner in the App Settings. However, if you don't want to make your Mac a runner using the App Settings, run the amp CLI in the local project directory to make that project available to the Amp app.
cd myproject
amp --no-tui --amp-env
This will serve the project to Amp and inject any environment variables defined in the Amp app into the terminal environment. Now you can select the local project when creating a new thread in the Amp app.
