ggcode 1.3.10

Thin Python wrapper that installs the ggcode GitHub Release binary

ggcode Python wrapper

ggcode on PyPI bootstraps the native ggcode terminal agent from GitHub Releases.

When the bootstrap runs, it installs the real binary into a stable CLI location instead of keeping it in a wrapper-managed cache:

• macOS / Linux: prefers /usr/local/bin, falls back to ~/.local/bin
• Windows: prefers %USERPROFILE%\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\ggcode\\bin, falls back to %USERPROFILE%\\.local\\bin

If that directory is not already on PATH, the bootstrap updates your PATH configuration and asks you to reopen the terminal so future ggcode launches resolve directly to the native binary.

Install

pip install ggcode

Then run:

ggcode

If you ever need to rerun the bootstrap flow explicitly, you can also use:

ggcode-bootstrap

What it does

• Detects your operating system and CPU architecture
• Downloads the latest matching ggcode archive from GitHub Releases
• Verifies the archive against checksums.txt
• Installs the real binary into a stable PATH location
• Updates PATH so future ggcode launches bypass the Python wrapper

Pin a specific ggcode release

By default, the wrapper always resolves the latest ggcode release.

To force a specific release, set GGCODE_INSTALL_VERSION:

GGCODE_INSTALL_VERSION=vX.Y.Z ggcode

or:

GGCODE_INSTALL_VERSION=X.Y.Z ggcode

What is ggcode?

ggcode is a terminal-native AI coding agent — not a browser wrapper, not a VS Code extension. It runs entirely in your terminal with a polished TUI:

• Multi-provider LLM support — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google Gemini, GitHub Copilot, DeepSeek, and more
• Five permission modes — supervised, plan, auto, bypass, autopilot — you decide how much autonomy the agent gets
• LSP integration — go-to-definition, references, rename, diagnostics, code actions via your language server
• MCP tools — connect external tool servers (browser, databases, APIs) seamlessly
• Sub-agents — spawn parallel workers for research, coding, and testing tasks
• Harness workflows — structured engineering pipelines with git worktrees, review, and promotion
• IM gateway — connect QQ, Telegram, Discord, Slack, DingTalk, or Feishu for remote coding
• Bilingual UI — full English and Chinese support
• Session persistence — resume past sessions with ggcode --resume
• File checkpoints — undo bad edits instantly without git

Supported platforms

• macOS
• Linux
• Windows

Supported architectures:

• x86_64 / amd64
• arm64

Desktop Application

ggcode also ships as a native desktop GUI application with visual chat, IM integration, and tool approval dialogs.
