CLI and OpenCode plugin
Recommended for new beta users. Install once and run BharatCode from your terminal or editor. Browser login and OpenCode configuration happen on first launch. No provider keys.
$ npm install -g bharatcode $ bharatcode .
Downloads
Start with the free public beta CLI, or try desktop prereleases as they become available. Students with valid .ac.in or .edu.in accounts keep BharatCode student access free forever.
Desktop app
The beta desktop app has native BharatCode OAuth. Installers are published from the BharatCode Desktop release, so this page follows the current version automatically.

What signs in where
One BharatCode account
GitHub, Google, or email creates the same BharatCode identity used by the web account page, CLI, desktop app, and editor integrations. Use your student email to keep access free forever.
No separate OpenCode install
The BharatCode CLI configures the OpenCode plugin for you. BharatCode Desktop ships its own app bundle, so it does not require uninstalling OpenCode.
