# Project Actions

A project action is a shell command you save once and run with a click — your dev server, a build, a test run. Each project keeps its own list. Set them up at **Settings → Projects → Project Actions**.

## Add an action

1. Open **Settings → Projects** and find the **Project Actions** section.
2. Add an action, give it a name, pick an icon, and enter the command to run.
3. Save.

You can limit an action to certain operating systems if a command only makes sense on one.

## Run an action

Actions live in a menu in the app header. Click one and OpenChamber runs it in a terminal in your project folder, switching you to the terminal view so you can watch the output. Stop it from the same menu.

## Auto-open a dev server

Turn on **auto-open URL** for an action that starts a server. OpenChamber watches the output for a local address and offers to open it — see [Preview & Dev Servers](/preview/). On desktop you can also route it through an SSH port forward.
