Follow the README quickstart to install dependencies and set any required configuration or credentials.
Work through the README's first example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.
A terminal multiplexer designed as the runtime coding agents live on, not a generic shell tool.
Manages workspaces and panes for multiple concurrent agent sessions.
Written in Rust as a fast, single-purpose TUI application.
Includes built-in guidance for how agents should operate inside herdr.
Familiar multiplexer concepts adapted to agent-first work.
Apache-2.0 licensed and developed in the open.
Start by getting the source and entering the project directory.
git clone https://github.com/herdrdev/herdr.git
cd herdrUse the official install script.

cargo build --releaseIt is maintained by herdrdev and contributors on GitHub, where the repository github.com/herdrdev/herdr is the canonical home for code, issues and releases.
Yes — it is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. Read the license in the repository for what is permitted, including any conditions on redistribution or commercial use.
No key of its own — the agents you run inside it use your own accounts.
Compared with tmux: herdr is designed specifically as a home for coding agents, while tmux is a general-purpose terminal multiplexer.
Clone github.com/herdrdev/herdr, follow the README quickstart to install it, and run the documented first example before adapting it to your own work.
