Codewire can analyze a repository and automatically configure a workspace with the right language, framework, and dependencies.

​
Prerequisites

  • At least one Running Coder resource in your organization
  • For private repositories, connect GitHub first (set a GitHub Token in org secrets)

​
Launch from the dashboard

  1. Navigate to your organization in the sidebar
  2. Click Launch in the org’s quick links
  3. Enter a repository URL (e.g., github.com/your-org/your-repo)
  4. Optionally specify a branch (defaults to the repo’s default branch)
  5. Click Analyze

​
Review detection results

AI analyzes your repository and detects:
  • Language — Go, Python, TypeScript, Rust, etc.
  • Framework — Next.js, Django, Rails, etc.
  • Docker — Dockerfile or docker-compose presence
  • Services — databases, caches, and other dependencies
Review the results and adjust if needed before launching.

​
Advanced options

Expand the advanced section to customize:

​
Select resource and launch

  1. If you have multiple Coder resources, select which one to create the workspace on
  2. Click Launch Workspace
  3. You’ll be redirected to the workspace as it starts up

​
Launch from the CLI

The CLI runs the same AI detection and creates the workspace. Pass . to use the current directory’s remote.
See Platform commands for the full cw launch reference.
