-Once you've got access, you start by enabling multi-factor authentication, which is required to use Codex. Next, you authorize the Codex GitHub app for each organization you want it to work with. Codex then clones your repositories into its own sandboxes so it can run commands and create branches on your behalf. If you maintain dozens of public and private repositories, this setup is fantastic because you can jump between projects and queue up tasks for each of them without leaving the interface. If you only keep a single repo or two, the overhead may feel heavier than just asking an LLM for help or working in an AI-powered editor like Cursor.

 Right now, it feels like I can spin up multiple tasks in parallel with a 40-60% chance that I'll be content enough with the result to hit the Open PR button instead of requesting changes.
 
-So far Codex has been perfect for firing off a bunch of maintenance-level updates: dependency bumps, minor copy tweaks and other small chores. I've tried asking it to tackle larger refactors and the experience quickly becomes cumbersome. The current workflow wants to open a fresh pull request for every iteration, which means pushing follow-up commits to an existing branch is awkward at best.
