Navigate to a project in which you want to enable Rover. This project needs to have git initialized, and at least one commit has to exist in its history.
Terminal window
```
mkdir -p ~/rover-quickstart && cd ~/rover-quickstart && git init && \
  touch README.md && git add README.md && git commit -m 'Initial commit'
```
2
Init Rover

```
rover init -y
```
Rover will detect all supported installed agents in your system. You can init Rover in as many projects as you wish.
