Two paths to get started — web dashboard or CLI.

​
Prerequisites

  • An invite code (Codewire is in private beta)
  • After account creation, 2FA setup is mandatory — you’ll be redirected to configure it before accessing the dashboard

​
Web quickstart

​
1. Create your account

  1. Go to codewire.sh/signup
  2. Enter your invite code, name, email, and a password (minimum 12 characters)
  3. Verify your email, then set up 2FA with an authenticator app
Save your backup codes — they’re shown only once and are your fallback if you lose access to your authenticator app.

​
2. Create an organization

  1. From the dashboard, click New Organization
  2. Enter a name and slug for your organization
  3. Click Create
After creating your org, a setup checklist guides you through the next steps: creating a resource, connecting GitHub, and more.

​
3. Add a Coder resource

  1. Inside your organization, click Add Resource
  2. Select Coder as the resource type
  3. Choose a plan (all plans include a 14-day free trial)
  4. Enter a slug — this becomes your Coder URL: your-slug.codewire.sh
  5. Click Create Resource
If this is your first resource, you’ll be redirected to Stripe Checkout to set up billing.

​
4. Wait for provisioning

Codewire provisions a dedicated Coder deployment. This typically takes 2-5 minutes. The resource detail page shows a provision timeline with real-time progress.

​
5. Launch a workspace

Once your resource shows Running:
  1. Click Launch in the sidebar
  2. Enter a repo URL and click Analyze — AI detects your language, framework, and services
  3. Review the detection results and adjust options if needed
  4. Click Launch Workspace
Or open your Coder dashboard directly via Open Coder and use the admin credentials to sign in.
  1. Go to Secrets in the sidebar
  2. Set your GitHub Token for private repo access
Or set up the full GitHub App integration from your resource settings.

​
7. Invite your team (optional)

  1. Go to your organization’s Settings page
  2. Click Members, enter an email and click Invite

​
CLI quickstart

​
1. Install

brew install codewiresh/codewire/codewire
Or use the install script: 
curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/codewiresh/codewire/main/install.sh | bash

​
2. Set up

cw setup
The interactive wizard walks you through: server URL, login, org selection, resource selection, and GitHub connection.

​
3. Launch a workspace

cw launch github.com/your-org/your-repo
AI analyzes the repo and creates a workspace with the right tools and dependencies.

​
4. Run an agent

cw run -- claude "fix the tests"
This SSHs into your workspace and starts a persistent session.
