What's it all about, Alfie?

One thing that I didn't yet have a handle on with LightTable is how to get this to act as my REPL - for an existing project. Simple one-file projects, or tests were easy, but I wanted to have a REPL that was also an editor - and I was clueless how to get that working.

So I decided to dig in and figure it out.

Turns out, it's really pretty easy. First, you have to start up LightTable, and then open up the command list and search for 'connect'. What you're going to do is to create a new connection. So find the 'connect bar':

then click on 'Add Connection':

and then select the 'Clojure' item:

and then select the project.clj file and you're in business!

Simply open up an InstaREPL, and you're in a REPL in that project. Very nice!
