DCode

DCode is an open source AI coding agent built as a compatibility-focused fork of OpenCode.

The product name and executable are DCode and dcode. Existing OpenCode configuration remains compatible, so DCode continues to use opencode.json, .opencode/, OPENCODE_* environment variables, and the existing OpenCode config, state, cache, and data directories.

Installation

Build From Source

git clone https://github.com/CreatorGhost/TheCode
cd TheCode
bun install
bun run --cwd packages/opencode build --single
./install --binary packages/opencode/dist/dcode-$(uname -s | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')-$(uname -m | sed 's/x86_64/x64/; s/aarch64/arm64/')/bin/dcode

The build output is written to packages/opencode/dist/dcode-<os>-<arch>/bin/dcode.

npm

npm install -g dcode-ai

This installs the dcode command. npm automatically selects the prebuilt binary for your platform (published as dcode-ai-<os>-<arch> packages). Publishing is driven by the publish-npm GitHub Actions workflow and requires an NPM_TOKEN repository secret.

GitHub Releases

Once a release is available, install the latest build with:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/CreatorGhost/TheCode/dev/install | bash

The installer writes the executable to ~/.dcode/bin by default. It supports DCODE_INSTALL_DIR, the legacy OPENCODE_INSTALL_DIR, and XDG_BIN_DIR in that order. DCode releases are published at CreatorGhost/TheCode.

DCode is not distributed through Homebrew, Chocolatey, Scoop, Arch, Nix, or desktop app stores. Packages named opencode or opencode-ai in those channels install upstream OpenCode, not DCode.

Usage

cd <project>
dcode

DCode includes the same built-in agents and configuration model as its OpenCode base. Until fork-specific documentation is published, the upstream OpenCode documentation remains applicable to compatible configuration and provider features.

Automatic updates are disabled unless autoupdate is explicitly enabled in your existing OpenCode-compatible configuration. Manual updates use dcode upgrade and only install releases from CreatorGhost/TheCode.

Development

See CONTRIBUTING.md for repository setup and contribution guidance. Run package tests and type checks from their package directories, as described in AGENTS.md.

Attribution

DCode is based on OpenCode and preserves compatibility identifiers where renaming them would break users, plugins, configurations, databases, or hosted services. OpenCode Zen, OpenCode Go, opencode.ai, and related hosted services remain upstream OpenCode products.

This fork is maintained independently and is not affiliated with the OpenCode team.
