What it does

Nanocoder provides a private, autonomous coding agent for managing code directly from your terminal, allowing you to maintain control over your projects and data.

Install / run

git clone https://github.com/Nano-Collective/nanocoder.git

When to use it

•When you need assistance with coding tasks without relying on cloud-based services
•When you want to keep your code and data private and secure on your local machine
•When you're looking for a community-driven, open-source solution for code management

Quick start

1Navigate to the cloned repository: cd nanocoder
2Review the configuration options in the README to understand how to integrate your own model
3Run the nanocoder agent using a command similar to 'node index.js' (exact command may vary based on your setup and model integration)
4Interact with the agent through your terminal, using commands and prompts as described in the nanocoder documentation
5Customize the agent's behavior by modifying configuration files or extending its capabilities with additional scripts or models

Ready-to-paste prompt

node index.js --model-path /path/to/your/model --task 'Generate a TypeScript class for a simple user entity'

Heads up: Ensure you have Node.js installed on your system, as nanocoder is built with TypeScript and requires a compatible Node environment to run
