Settings
The gear in the dock (or ⌘,) opens the settings sheet, rising from the gear. It lists exactly the settings that exist:
| Group | Setting |
|---|---|
| Updates | Keep Fold up to date — on by default. A newer signed build downloads in the background, is verified against Fold's signing identity, and installs when you quit or relaunch; the gear wears a mark while one waits, and the sheet's foot says where it stands. Off means nothing is asked; brew upgrade --cask fold still works either way. |
| Notes | Keep .fold/ out of git — on by default; Fold writes the exclude for you. The Everywhere row picks the folder for notes that belong to no workspace. |
| Hosts | The other Macs a remote session can run on. |
| Instruments | Show the instruments, and which facts they state: branch, worktree, changes, shelf, sync. |
| Sound | The done sound that plays when an agent finishes. |
The sheet's foot shows the running version.
Your account
The mark beside the gear in the dock is your GitHub account — the one gh is signed in as, with its photo. Its menu shows the state (signed in, signed out, no gh), and switches accounts. Fold uses it for the Git panel's pull requests and for pushing.
