qwen-code is an open-source dev tools project by QwenLM (QwenLM/qwen-code on GitHub). It has 28,363 GitHub stars and 3,173 forks, is released under the Apache-2.0 license, and was last updated on GitHub on 8 October 2026.
Decide what you want to achieve with qwen-code and check the README on GitHub for requirements before installing.
Clone the repository from GitHub (or take the packaged install route in step 3 if the README offers one).
Follow the project's documented install commands — the Run section below lists the exact ones — and add any required API keys or models.
Work through the README's quickstart example end to end, then adapt it to your own project or data.
Chat-driven coding in your repo: explore, edit, run and iterate without leaving the shell.
Prompts and tooling are tuned for Qwen's coding models rather than being model-generic.
Connect external tools and servers through the Model Context Protocol.
Supports reusable skills/workflows for repeatable coding tasks.
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latest or brew install qwen-code, then run in any project.
Apache-2.0 source you can inspect, configure and extend.
Get the Qwen Code source if you want to build or modify it.
git clone https://github.com/QwenLM/qwen-code.git
cd qwen-codeInstall globally from npm (or brew install qwen-code on macOS).
npm install -g @qwen-code/qwen-code@latestRun qwen in your project, sign in / configure your Qwen model access as prompted, and give it a first task.
qwenqwen-code is maintained by the QwenLM organization/account on GitHub, together with open-source contributors, in the public repository QwenLM/qwen-code.
Yes — the code is open source under the Apache-2.0 license. You can use, modify and redistribute it under that license's terms.
You need Qwen model access — the project documents sign-in/free-tier routes and API-key options via Alibaba's Model Studio; the CLI itself is free.
Qwen Code shares the Gemini CLI heritage but is tuned for Qwen models; choose it when you specifically want Qwen3-Coder driving your terminal agent.
Clone the repository from GitHub, follow the install commands in the Run section (taken from the project's README), and complete the documented quickstart example before adapting it to your own use case.
