What's new

Install

  • One line, any operating system. curl -fsSL https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/DorShaer/Husk@main/scripts/install.sh | bash installs Husk on Linux and macOS. On Debian and Ubuntu it wires up the signed apt repository; elsewhere it fetches the right build and verifies its checksum.
  • apt install husk. Debian and Ubuntu users can add the signed Husk apt repository and install with apt, then stay current with apt upgrade. Setup is three copyable lines on the new install page at https://dorshaer.github.io/Husk.
  • Clearer install docs. The README now has separate Linux, macOS, and Windows sections with copyable commands, and the landing page mirrors them.

Agents

  • Gemini support. Husk now runs the Gemini CLI alongside claude, copilot, codex, and aider, including its own MCP server configuration.
  • The status panel adapts to the active agent. Usage, session, and model rows now reflect whichever agent you are running instead of assuming one.
  • Friendly model names. The status panel shows a readable model name such as Opus 4.8 or GPT 5.4 instead of the raw identifier.

Fixes

  • Agent startup on Windows. Agents installed as an npm command shim now launch reliably instead of failing to start.
  • Autopilot. Run exit codes are surfaced when a run ends, cancelling is guarded against accidental double taps, and the collapsed sidebar indicator renders correctly.
  • Live model reporting. The status panel reports the model the current session is actually using rather than the configured default.
  • Sharper file preview. Selected text in the file preview no longer renders blurry.

Known limitations

  • macOS code signing is still pending an Apple Developer ID. See the README's macOS first launch section for the Gatekeeper bypass.
  • The apt repository serves the amd64 build. Arm Linux and other distributions use the AppImage or a source install.
