Quick-Start Guide

Install WindMist on your terminal right now, configure your Gemini model API token, and execute your first filesystem patch in under 60 seconds.

1Install Universal Static Binary

Run our universal installation script which auto-detects your system architecture (`x86_64` vs `arm64`) and installs the latest verified release (`v1.0.1`) to `/usr/local/bin/windmist`:

curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Nithwin/windmist/main/scripts/install.sh | bash

2Authenticate with Gemini AI Provider

WindMist connects directly to your preferred AI model endpoints with zero middleware latency. Configure your API key using the interactive terminal command:

$ export GEMINI_API_KEY="your-gemini-api-key"

$ windmist set gemini_api_key "your-gemini-api-key"

✔ Successfully saved in ~/.windmist/config.yaml

3Launch Interactive Agent in Your Repository

Navigate to any Git workspace and start chatting or requesting targeted code edits:

$ cd ~/projects/my-go-service

$ windmist chat "Examine internal/agent and summarize the tool loop"
