Check MEMORY.md for details

🔧 Memory Version Control

The memory/ directory is ignored by the main repository's git to keep your personal data private. To maintain version control of your personal data:

Initialize a new git repository inside the memory/ directory:
```
cd memory
git init
```
This creates a separate repository for your personal data
You can use any git hosting service (GitHub, GitLab, etc.) for this repository
Make sure to use a private repository to protect your personal information
