Getting started

As a Vibecape user

1. Install and open the Vibecape App.
2. Sign in with your Federation account.
3. Ask your server administrator for the Group URL. It looks like https://spaces.example.com/groups/group_....
4. In Settings → Vibecape Groups, select the signed-in account, enter the Group URL, and submit the request.
5. Wait until the membership state changes from pending to joined.
6. Open the Space selector, choose the Group, then create a Space if you are the Owner or clone an existing Space.

You enter only the Group URL. You do not enter the Federation URL, Git URL, or a Space server URL when joining a Group.

As the server administrator

Install the CLI globally, initialize the local server, then start it in the background:

npm install -g @vibecape/cli@latest
vibecape server init
vibecape server start
vibecape server status

Sign in and create the first Group. Without --owner, the current Vibecape user becomes Owner:

vibecape login
vibecape users
vibecape server group create --name "Research Team"

Send the printed Group URL to the user. After they submit a request in the App:

vibecape server group request list <group-id>
vibecape server group request approve <group-id> <user-id> --role editor

The user can now see the Group and its Spaces in the App.
