Merget User Guide

See exactly which AI prompt wrote any line of your code, and what it cost.

Merget is version control for AI-assisted development. It commits not just what changed, but why: the goals you were pursuing and the prompts you gave your coding agent. You sign in, you code with your agent like you always do, and your project's story writes itself.

Start here

1. Install - the desktop app, plus the agents it works with (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot).
2. Your first repo - create or import a repo and watch history appear as you work.
3. Quick tour - five minutes around the app.

One thing to know up front: Merget syncs by default, and committing involves Merget's servers. What that means (exactly what's sent, who can see it, and what controls you have) is laid out in Sync & privacy.
