Open SWE CLI

⚠️ Under Development
This CLI is currently under active development and may contain bugs or incomplete features.

A command-line interface for Open SWE that provides a terminal-based chat experience to interact with the autonomous coding agent. Built with React and Ink, it offers real-time streaming of agent logs and works directly on your local codebase without requiring GitHub authentication.

Documentation

Development

1. Install dependencies: yarn install
2. Create a .env file and set OPEN_SWE_LOCAL_PROJECT_PATH to point to an existing git repository:

   echo "OPEN_SWE_LOCAL_PROJECT_PATH=/path/to/your/git/repository" > .env
   

3. Build the CLI: yarn build
4. Run the CLI: yarn cli

Usage

yarn cli

The CLI will:

1. Start in local mode (no authentication required)
2. Work directly on files in your current directory
3. Provide interactive chat with the Open SWE agent
4. Stream real-time logs and responses
