Install Merget

Merget is a desktop app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. Install it, sign in, and it starts committing your work automatically: the prompts you gave your agent, and what each one cost.

1. Get the app

Download the installer for your platform from merget.ai/download and run it like any other app.

The app is both your version control and your workspace: committing and history alongside chat, statistics, and built-in terminals.

2. Have a supported coding agent

Merget commits sessions from these agents:

  • Claude Code
  • Codex
  • Cursor
  • GitHub Copilot

Any of them works; you can use several side by side. If your agent isn't listed, Merget still commits your file changes, but you won't get prompts and transcripts for that agent's sessions.

These agents are separate products that you install and license yourself; Merget doesn't bundle or sell them, and isn't affiliated with the companies behind them. Merget works with the copies already on your machine (and if one is missing, can offer to run its official install command with your approval). Details per agent: Supported agents.

3. The CLI comes with it

The app includes the merget command-line tool; there's nothing separate to install. The app makes it available to your shell, so you can run merget from any terminal (including the app's built-in terminals), and it's what your agent itself uses to drive Merget. Because the CLI is part of the app, it works only while the app is installed; deleting the app removes the CLI too. See the CLI reference.

Next step: sign in

Merget requires an account before anything commits: every change in history is attributed to its author, so there's no signed-out or guest use. That's the next page.
