Before submitting

  • I searched existing issues and did not find a duplicate.
  • I am describing a concrete problem or use case, not just a vague idea.

Area

apps/server

Problem or use case

The server continuously runs git fetch --quiet --no-tags origin against every repo in the workspace every 30 seconds, with no way to change the interval or turn it off. For users with several repos open, this means a steady ~12+ network fetches per minute in the background.

Proposed solution

Make the interval configurable, with an option to disable.

Why this matters

  • Users with multiple repos open in one workspace (monorepo teams, polyrepo setups, dotfiles + project combos).
  • Users on metered, slow, or high-latency connections (tethering, hotel Wi-Fi, VPN-tunneled corp networks).

Smallest useful scope

Configurable as keybindings in file, or item in app settings
