📥 Installation

Method 1: Quick Install (macOS / Linux)

Windows users: see Manual Installation below.

curl -fsSL https://github.com/handy-sun/cc-switch-tui/releases/latest/download/install.sh | bash

This installs to ~/.local/bin. Set CC_SWITCH_INSTALL_DIR to change the target directory.

• If the target already exists, the installer prompts in TTY and refuses to overwrite in non-interactive shells unless CC_SWITCH_FORCE=1 is set.
• On Linux, set CC_SWITCH_LINUX_LIBC=glibc if you need the glibc build.

macOS

# Download Universal Binary (recommended, supports Apple Silicon + Intel)
VERSION="$(curl -fsSL https://github.com/handy-sun/cc-switch-tui/releases/latest/download/latest.json | sed -nE 's/^[[:space:]]*"version"[[:space:]]*:[[:space:]]*"([^"]+)".*/\1/p' | head -n 1)"

# After extracting, move cc-switch-tui.exe to a PATH directory, e.g.:
move cc-switch-tui.exe C:\Windows\System32\

# Or run directly
.\cc-switch-tui.exe

Method 2: Nix Flake

Use the package from this repository in another flake:

{
  inputs.cc-switch-tui = {
    url = "github:handy-sun/cc-switch-tui";
    inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
  };
}

inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs" is recommended for normal NixOS or Home Manager setups. The package is built with pkgs.rustPlatform.buildRustPackage, so following your top-level nixpkgs means the Rust compiler, Cargo, linker inputs, and system libraries come from the same nixpkgs revision as the rest of your system.

If you omit follows, this project uses the nixpkgs revision pinned in its own flake.lock, which can be useful when you want to reproduce the upstream build environment exactly. In either case, Rust crate dependency versions still come from src-tauri/Cargo.lock; follows changes the Nix toolchain and package set, not the locked Cargo dependency graph.

If a build only fails with follows enabled, try removing it to check whether the issue is caused by a nixpkgs version difference.

Method 3: Build from Source

Prerequisites:

• Rust 1.85+ (install via rustup)

Build:

git clone https://github.com/handy-sun/cc-switch-tui.git
cd cc-switch-tui/src-tauri
cargo build --release

# Binary location: ./target/release/cc-switch

Install to System:

# macOS/Linux
sudo cp target/release/cc-switch-tui /usr/local/bin/

# Windows
copy target\release\cc-switch-tui.exe C:\Windows\System32\

🔧 Utilities

Shell completions, environment management, and other utilities.

# Shell completions
cc-switch-tui completions install --activate   # Recommended: install + activate for bash/zsh
cc-switch-tui completions install              # Conservative: install only, no rc edits
cc-switch-tui completions status               # Inspect managed completion status
cc-switch-tui completions uninstall            # Remove managed completion assets
cc-switch-tui completions bash                 # Compatibility raw generator path
cc-switch-tui completions fish                 # Raw generation still works for non-managed shells

# Environment management
cc-switch-tui env check                  # Check for environment conflicts
cc-switch-tui env list                   # List environment variables

# Self-update
cc-switch-tui update                     # Update to latest release
cc-switch-tui update --version vX.Y.Z    # Update to a specific version

Automated install/activation currently targets bash and zsh only. Other shells remain available through the raw generator path, for example cc-switch-tui completions fish.

🏗️ Architecture

Core Design

• SQLite-backed state: Core data lives in ~/.cc-switch-tui/cc-switch.db by default (or under $CC_SWITCH_TUI_CONFIG_DIR/ when set); legacy config.json is kept only for older import and migration paths
• Skills SSOT: Skill source files live in ~/.cc-switch-tui/skills/ by default (or under $CC_SWITCH_TUI_CONFIG_DIR/skills/ when set), while install state and app enablement stay in the database
• Safe Live Sync (Default): Skip writing live files for apps that haven't been initialized yet (prevents creating ~/.claude, ~/.codex, ~/.gemini, ~/.config/opencode, or ~/.openclaw unexpectedly)
• Atomic Writes: Temp file + rename pattern prevents corruption
• Service Layer Reuse: 100% reused from original GUI version
• Concurrency Safe: RwLock with scoped guards

Configuration Files

CC-Switch Storage (default: ~/.cc-switch-tui, override: CC_SWITCH_TUI_CONFIG_DIR):

• ~/.cc-switch-tui/cc-switch.db - Main database for providers, MCP, prompts, and app state
• ~/.cc-switch-tui/settings.json - Settings
• ~/.cc-switch-tui/skills/ - Installed skill sources (SSOT)
• ~/.cc-switch-tui/backups/ - Auto-rotation (keep 10)
• ~/.cc-switch-tui/config.json - Legacy JSON kept for compatibility and import flows

When CC_SWITCH_TUI_CONFIG_DIR is set, CC-Switch uses that directory as its config root; existing data under ~/.cc-switch-tui is not migrated automatically.

Live Configs:

• Claude: ~/.claude/settings.json (provider/common config), ~/.claude.json (MCP), ~/.claude/CLAUDE.md (prompts)
• Codex: ~/.codex/auth.json (auth state), ~/.codex/config.toml (provider/common config + MCP), ~/.codex/AGENTS.md (prompts)
• Gemini: ~/.gemini/.env (provider env), ~/.gemini/settings.json (settings + MCP), ~/.gemini/GEMINI.md (prompts)
• OpenCode: ~/.config/opencode/opencode.json (providers + MCP + runtime config), ~/.config/opencode/AGENTS.md (prompts)
• OpenClaw: ~/.openclaw/openclaw.json (providers + env/tools/agents defaults), ~/.openclaw/AGENTS.md (prompts)

❓ FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

First, make sure the target CLI has been initialized at least once (i.e. its config directory exists). CC-Switch may skip live sync for uninitialized apps; you will see a warning. Run the target CLI once (e.g. claude --help, codex --help, gemini --help, opencode --help, openclaw --help), then switch again.

This is usually caused by environment variable conflicts. If you have API keys set in system environment variables (like ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, OPENAI_API_KEY), they will override CC-Switch's configuration.

Solution:

1. Check for conflicts:

   cc-switch-tui env check --app claude
   

2. List all related environment variables:

   cc-switch-tui env list --app claude
   

3. If conflicts are found, manually remove them:

   • macOS/Linux: Edit your shell config file (~/.bashrc, ~/.zshrc, etc.)

     # Find and delete the line with the environment variable
     nano ~/.zshrc
     # Or use your preferred text editor: vim, code, etc.
     

   • Windows: Open System Properties → Environment Variables and delete the conflicting variables

4. Restart your terminal for changes to take effect.

CC-Switch currently supports five AI coding assistants:

• Claude Code (--app claude, default)
• Codex (--app codex)
• Gemini (--app gemini)
• OpenCode (--app opencode)
• OpenClaw (--app openclaw)

Use the global --app flag to specify which app to manage:

cc-switch-tui --app codex provider list
