FeverCode
Code like fever. Ship like dream.
An open-source terminal coding agent for Linux, built with Rust.
What is FeverCode?
FeverCode is a CLI/TUI-first coding agent that runs in your terminal. It understands your local repository, reads and edits files, runs shell commands and tests, and helps you complete real software work end-to-end — all from the comfort of your terminal.
