TIL opencode:
The AI coding agent built for the terminal
OpenCode is fully open source, giving you control and freedom to use any provider, any model, and any editor.

To use OpenCode, you’ll need:

WezTerm, cross-platform
Alacritty, cross-platform
Ghostty, Linux and macOS

API keys for the LLM providers you want to use.
