# Beehive

> Manage multiple GitHub repos, create isolated git workspaces, and run coding agents side-by-side — all from one desktop or terminal window.

Beehive is a free, open-source desktop and terminal application for developers who work across multiple repositories and want to run AI coding agents alongside their terminals. It introduces two core concepts — Hives (linked GitHub repos) and Combs (isolated git clones on any branch) — to keep experiments and tasks cleanly separated. The app ships both a native macOS GUI and a TUI (terminal UI) that share the same config file, so you can switch between interfaces without losing context.

- **Multi-repo management** — Add GitHub repos by URL and switch between them instantly from a single sidebar, keeping all your projects in one window.
- **Isolated workspaces (Combs)** — Each Comb is a full git clone in its own directory on any branch, so experiments never interfere with each other.
- **Persistent PTY terminals** — Real terminal sessions stay alive when you switch repos or workspaces, preserving shell state and history.
- **Agent panes** — Launch Claude Code or any CLI-based coding agent in a flexible grid alongside your terminals; interact with agents and code simultaneously.
- **Copy workspaces** — Duplicate a Comb including uncommitted changes to experiment safely without risk to your working branch.
- **Live branch tracking** — The sidebar reflects your current branch in real time as you switch inside the terminal.
- **TUI / CLI support** — Install the terminal-native interface with a single `curl` command; choose `bh` or `beehive` as your command name, no extra dependencies beyond git and gh.
- **Shared config** — Both the GUI and TUI read from `~/.beehive`, so settings and workspace state are always in sync.
- **Auto-update** — The TUI checks for updates on startup to keep you on the latest release.
- **MIT License** — Fully open source; signed and notarized for Apple Silicon Macs.
