Original Reddit post

Ok, first, I have been tossed into this world, so I am a complete noob, and I just need an answer, not condescending remarks, please. I work for a non-profit, and the SaaS system they had developed (small-scale, internal) wasn’t close to what they needed, so once it was turned over, I took over. I use Claude Code to fix issues and add features, and it is going very well. Now I also use coderabbit. Currently, I have CC installed on a staging EC2 instance, where I do all testing before creating pull requests on GitHub and then deploying to the EC2 production server. CC released CC desktop, and I am interested in using it, but I am used to running everything on my staging instance via SSH in the terminal. I also have CC Desktop for personal use on other things, so it is already installed, and I can easily log in to the correct account. My question is this: all of the conversation history is stored on the EC2 instance, so if I use CC on the desktop now and use the SSH feature, will it have access to that history so I can resume conversations if needed, or does it start a new history log in the desktop app? Is there a way to use the desktop app and connect to CC running on the EC2 instance? From what I understand, CC Desktop is running on my MacBook and just using SSH to access the instance, but it is not actually running on the instance. As I said, I am a noob, but I am learning a LOT, so please just offer helpful comments if you have them. I don’t need to be told to let a professional do it. That is not an option for this company, considering what they spent to create this, and it is was not usable before I started using CC. That is another incredibly long story, and I already work for them in other tech capacities. submitted by /u/Copernicus-jones
