Codex now supports working with multiple folders in a single project.
You can connect related directories containing code, documentation, and reference files to a local project. Codex will be able to read and modify files in all of them, while one main folder will still remain the root of the Git repository.
The main folder is responsible for Git operations, code reviews, PRs, the AGENTS.md file, and finding available skills.
