+How is Catnip different from GitHub Codespaces or Gitpod? + +Catnip is purpose-built for AI-assisted development. While Codespaces and Gitpod are great for human developers, Catnip excels at running multiple AI agents in parallel with automatic git management, worktree isolation, and live previews. + +
+ +
+Can I use Catnip with my existing projects? + +Absolutely! Just run `catnip run` in any git repository. Catnip works with any codebase and automatically detects your project configuration. + +
-## πŸ€“ How it works +
+What AI assistants does Catnip support? -`catnip` is a golang binary with a vite SPA embedded within it. The `wandb/catnip` container was inspired by the [openai/codex-universal](https://github.com/openai/codex-universal) container. It comes pre-configured with node, python, golang, gcc, and rust. You can have the container install a different version of the language on boot by setting any of these environment variables: +Currently optimized for Claude Code, with support for additional AI coding assistants coming soon. The architecture is designed to be extensible. -- CATNIP_NODE_VERSION -- CATNIP_PYTHON_VERSION -- CATNIP_RUST_VERSION -- CATNIP_GO_VERSION +
-In the future we intend to support custom base images. The `catnip run` command also configures SSH witnin the container by default. It creates a key pair named `catnip_remote` and configures a `catnip` host allowing you to run `ssh catnip` or open a remote development environment via the [Remote-SSH extension](https://marketplace.cursorapi.com/items/?itemName=anysphere.remote-ssh). +
+Is Catnip open source? -When you start a claude session in Catnip the system automatically commits changes as claude makes them. We intend to support restoring to a previous checkpoint in a future release. +Yes! Catnip is MIT licensed and we welcome contributions from the community. -## 🀝 Contributing +
