From the README

Ten agents.
  Ten branches.
  One afternoon.

  Dispatch AI coding agents in parallel, each in its own worktree.
  Review the diffs, merge the wins, toss the rest.

  Works with Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Copilot, and Antigravity · Every change isolated in its own git worktree · Free, open source, no extra platform fee

How it works

1. Start a task. Describe it and pick an agent. Parallel Code creates a branch and a git worktree, links node_modules and other git-ignored directories into it, and starts the agent there.
2. Start the next one. The Board sorts every task by what it needs from you: Needs you, Stopped, Working, In pull request. Ctrl+Tab jumps to the next task that is waiting for you.
3. Review the diff. Comment on lines and send the comments back to the agent, or ask for a guided tour of what changed.
4. Merge it or toss it. Finish merges the branch or pushes it for a pull request. Closing a task removes its worktree.

That is the core loop. Everything else is optional and stays out of the way until you use it.

Why Parallel Code?

- Mix the agents you already use — Claude Code, Codex CLI, OpenCode, Copilot CLI, Antigravity CLI, or any other terminal agent, side by side on one board. Each runs as its own CLI, with your own login and plan.
- Review is built in — a diff viewer with inline comments you send back to the agent, guided tours of the changes, and an optional second-opinion review by a separate model, so an agent never grades its own work.
- Every change isolated — each task gets its own branch and worktree, and optionally its own Docker container.
- Free, open source, local — MIT licensed, no account, no extra subscription. Parallel Code…
