@didibus This is so great, thank you for the tip!  
It’s `sesman-link-with-buffer` …or… **`C-c C-s b`**.

I wonder why it’s not the same for CIDER. Can you have multiple REPL connections in Atom/Chlorine?

And thank you for sharing details about your workflow. It’s helpful! For me this is the sales pitch for `deps.edn` – the ability to have local deps which enables splitting your larger projects into smaller projects which you can reuse.
