Codeg includes an integrated terminal so you can run build commands, check git status, install dependencies, and interact with your project alongside your agent session — all without leaving the workspace window.

​
Opening a terminal

Click the Terminal icon in the workspace toolbar to open a terminal panel for the current folder. The terminal starts in the folder’s root directory.

​
Multiple terminals

You can spawn multiple terminal sessions per folder. Each session is independent — open as many as you need. Sessions appear as tabs in the terminal panel and can be switched between freely.

​
Full PTY support

The terminal uses a full pseudo-terminal (PTY) rather than a simple pipe. This means:
  • Resize support — the terminal resizes correctly when you drag the panel edge or resize the window; the running process receives the new column and row counts
  • ANSI colors — color output from tools like git, npm, build scripts, and test runners renders correctly
  • Interactive programs — tools that rely on terminal capabilities (progress bars, spinners, prompts) work as expected

​
Git credential integration

When you open a terminal in Codeg, git operations automatically use the credentials you have configured in Settings > Version Control. Codeg injects a credential helper into the terminal’s environment at spawn time. Your credentials are never written to disk in plain text.

​
Common use cases

  • Run pnpm install or npm run build while an agent session is active in the same folder
  • Check git status or git log without switching windows
  • Run tests and review output alongside the agent’s code changes
  • Execute one-off scripts or inspect environment variables

​
Session lifecycle

Terminal sessions persist until you explicitly close them or the workspace window closes. If the process running inside the terminal exits (for example, a build command that completes), the session stays open so you can see the output and run further commands. To close a terminal session, click the × on its tab or run exit in the shell.
Use multiple terminals to run a long-running process (like a dev server) in one tab while running other commands in another — without interrupting your agent session.
