| description | Short tutorials for Pair: each one task, a few minutes, step by step with the exact keys and commands. |
|---|
Short, task-shaped walkthroughs: each answers one "how do I…" in a few minutes, step by step, with the keys and commands as they are, and links to the full page when you want more. Start with the first; the rest stand alone.
The pictures are the plugin and the daemon as shipped, in a clean Neovim with the ayu colorscheme, recorded from the capture tapes. Only the models' words are scripted.
- The first ten minutes, 10 minutes: how do I install Pair, check it, and pair on a project?
- The chat pane and its keys, 4 minutes: how do I talk to Pair in the chat pane, and act on what it says?
- Roles and handing over, 4 minutes: how do I let Pair run commands, or hand it the keyboard?
- Tests on save, 3 minutes: how do I have my tests run each time I save?
- Notes and the blank page, 5 minutes: how do I think in a note, or start from an empty folder?
- Asking for code: /gen here and /gen file, 5 minutes: how do I ask Pair for code at my cursor, or for a new file?
- Trying a sample: /gen try and /keep, 3 minutes: how do I try a sample before it goes in my project?
- A scaffold: /gen scaffold, 4 minutes: how do I get many files and their wiring at once?
- The board: hand a task over, review it back, 6 minutes: how do I hand a big job to the board, and review it back?
- Several worktrees, 3 minutes: how do I work on two things in one repository at once?
- Voice, 5 minutes: how do I ask Pair aloud?
- Search by meaning, 3 minutes: how do I find code when I do not know what it is called?
The whole reference starts at How it works; every key is in the Neovim plugin reference and every command in Commands.
