@autter/cli

Autter is an open source git extension that records which lines of your code were written by AI — tied to the agent, model, and prompt that produced them.

This package is a thin bootstrapper: it downloads the official native autter binary for your platform (macOS, Linux, or Windows; x64 or arm64) into ~/.autter/bin, verifies its checksum against the GitHub release, and exposes the autter command through your npm global bin. The binary location is shared with the shell installers, so hooks and the background service's self-updates keep working no matter how autter was installed.

Install

npm install -g @autter/cli
autter onboard

Or bootstrap without a global install:

npx @autter/cli onboard

The package version matches the CLI release, so npm install -g @autter/cli@<version> installs that exact release.

Environment variables

• AUTTER_NPM_SKIP_DOWNLOAD=1 — skip the postinstall binary download (it happens on first run instead).
• AUTTER_RELEASE_TAG=vX.Y.Z — install a specific release.
• AUTTER_NO_INSTALL_PING=1 — disable the anonymous install-count ping (OS, architecture, and version only).
