A fork of opencode - The AI coding agent built for the terminal.

# curl install
curl -fsSL https://shuv.ai/install | bash

# npm
npm i -g shuvcode@latest

This fork serves as an integration testing ground for upstream PRs before they are merged into the main opencode repository. We merge, test, and validate promising features and fixes to help ensure quality contributions to the upstream project.

The following PRs have been merged into this fork and are awaiting merge into upstream:

The desktop "Create project" button now opens an improved "Add Project" dialog with two tabs:

• Add Existing: Browse and search folders from your home directory with fuzzy search, see git repo indicators, and add existing projects with one click
• Create New: Original path input for creating new project directories

The folder browser scans up to 2 levels deep from $HOME, prioritizes git repositories, and shows which folders are already added as projects.

The desktop file viewer now displays actual image previews for PNG, JPG, GIF, and WEBP files instead of showing raw base64 text. Images are centered and scaled to fit within the viewport with scrolling support for large images. SVG files are excluded from image preview and render as syntax-highlighted XML code.

Choose from 60+ animated spinner styles for tool execution indicators. Access via the command palette with Change spinner style. Your selection is persisted across sessions.

Available styles include braille patterns, block animations, geometric shapes, and creative concepts like moon phases, clock sweeps, and bouncing balls.

The TUI automatically adapts its vertical spacing for small terminals (< 28 rows). Configure via tui.density:

• auto (default): Switches to compact mode on small terminals
• comfortable: Standard spacing with footer and hints
• compact: Reduced padding, hides footer and secondary hints

Toggle density from the command palette or set in config:

{
  "tui": {
    "density": "auto",
  },
}

Restrict which files an agent can edit using glob patterns:

{
  "agent": {
    "plan": {
      "permission": {
        "edit": {
          "**/*.md": "allow",
          "CONTEXT/**": "allow",
          "*": "deny",
        },
      },
    },
  },
}

Precedence rules: exact match > more path segments > longer pattern > * fallback

OpenCode includes two built-in agents you can switch between, you can switch between these using the Tab key.

• build - Default, full access agent for development work
• plan - Read-only agent for analysis and code exploration
  • Denies file edits by default
  • Asks permission before running bash commands
  • Ideal for exploring unfamiliar codebases or planning changes

Also, included is a general subagent for complex searches and multi-step tasks. This is used internally and can be invoked using @general in messages.

If you are working on a project that's related to OpenCode and is using "opencode" as a part of its name; for example, "opencode-dashboard" or "opencode-mobile", please add a note to your README to clarify that it is not built by the OpenCode team and is not affiliated with us in any way.

It's very similar to Claude Code in terms of capability. Here are the key differences:

• 100% open source
• Not coupled to any provider. Although we recommend the models we provide through OpenCode Zen; OpenCode can be used with Claude, OpenAI, Google or even local models. As models evolve the gaps between them will close and pricing will drop so being provider-agnostic is important.
• Out of the box LSP support
• A focus on TUI. OpenCode is built by neovim users and the creators of terminal.shop; we are going to push the limits of what's possible in the terminal.
• A client/server architecture. This for example can allow OpenCode to run on your computer, while you can drive it remotely from a mobile app. Meaning that the TUI frontend is just one of the possible clients.

The other confusingly named repo has no relation to this one. You can read the story behind it here.
