Contributing

For any new features we'd appreciate it if you could open an issue first to discuss what you'd like to implement. We're pretty responsive there and it'll save you from working on something that we don't end up using. No need to do this for simpler fixes.

To run opencode locally you need.

• Bun
• Golang 1.24.x

And run.

$ bun install
$ bun run packages/opencode/src/index.ts

Development Notes

API Client: After making changes to the TypeScript API endpoints in packages/opencode/src/server/server.ts, you will need the opencode team to generate a new stainless sdk for the clients.

FAQ

How is this different than Claude Code?

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 Anthropic is recommended, opencode can be used with 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.
• 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.

What about Windows support?

There are some minor problems blocking opencode from working on windows. We are working on on them now. You'll need to use WSL for now.

What's the other repo?

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