What is ByteRover? ​

ByteRover is a local-first context engineering CLI (brv) that gives AI coding agents durable, queryable memory. Your context tree lives on disk in .brv/context-tree/, the daemon runs on localhost, and you choose your own LLM provider. Optional cloud sync, team spaces, and review workflows are available — but never required.

This site is a structured SOP mirror of the public ByteRover documentation, optimized for fast lookup with full-text search and an embedded RAG chat assistant (bottom-right of every page). Ask any question about commands, connectors, or workflows.
