Lightweight terminal-based coding agent with local execution and cloud integration
Codex CLI is a lightweight coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally in your terminal, powered by your ChatGPT subscription or API key. Unlike IDE plugins or desktop apps, it offers a pure CLI experience tailored for terminal-centric developers. It supports macOS, Linux, and Windows and can be installed via shell script, npm, or Homebrew. Built with Rust and Bazel, it emphasizes performance and portability. Open-sourced under Apache-2.0, it's ideal for developers exploring command-line AI coding assistants.
