Quickstart

Run the install script. It downloads the kortix binary for your OS.

curl -fsSL https://kortix.com/install | bash

Kortix supports macOS and Linux. There is no Windows binary yet.

kortix login

This opens your browser for sign-in. After you sign in, kortix login picks your account and a default project for you.

A new account has no projects yet, so kortix login has none to pick. Run kortix init with a name to create your first project. This scaffolds a project directory on your machine.

kortix init my-app
cd my-app
kortix ship

kortix ship creates the project in Kortix Cloud on its first run, then pushes your code. Run kortix ship again any time to sync local changes.

To work on a project that already exists in Kortix Cloud, clone it instead:

kortix projects clone <project-id>

Find <project-id> with kortix projects ls.

kortix sessions new --prompt "Build the login page"

This starts a session. The agent works in its own sandbox, on its own branch, so your project is not touched yet.

Attach to the session to watch progress and reply:

kortix sessions chat

When the agent finishes, it opens a change request with a summary and the exact diff.

kortix cr ls

This lists the open CRs in your project. Review the one the agent opened, then merge it to land the work on your default branch:

kortix cr merge 1

Replace 1 with the CR number from kortix cr ls. Nothing reaches your project's default branch until you merge.
