- For
- Mac-based PHP developers maintaining multiple projects
- Worth noticing
- Agent sessions checkpoint both site files and database tables, then list changes for an all-or-nothing keep or undo.
Field notes
The page documents both a drag-and-drop setup and CLI commands. Sites map to .localhost addresses over trusted HTTPS; each can use a separate PHP-FPM version, with per-site php.ini and Xdebug settings. The described stack also includes MySQL or PostgreSQL, Redis, and Mailpit. For agent sessions, Covo says it captures files and database state, exposes changed files and tables for review, and leaves the final keep-or-undo decision with the user.
