opencode-multi

A Rust CLI tool for managing multiple OpenCode profiles through isolated config and data directories.

Overview

opencode-multi enables multi-profile support for OpenCode by managing separate config and data environments. Each profile gets:

• Isolated configuration directory (~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/)
• Isolated data directory (~/.local/share/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/)
• Separate authentication state (separate auth.json per profile)

This allows you to:

• Use different OpenCode accounts/providers per profile
• Maintain separate plugin configurations
• Keep work and personal environments completely isolated

Installation

From crates.io (recommended)

cargo install opencode-multi

From source

git clone https://github.com/dominic-codespoti/opencode-multi.git
cd opencode-multi
cargo install --path .

Quick Start

# Create two profiles
opencode-multi create work
opencode-multi create personal

# Or create profiles from your existing OpenCode setup
opencode-multi create work --init
opencode-multi create personal --init

# List profiles
opencode-multi list

# Run OpenCode with a profile
opencode-multi run work

# In another terminal, switch to personal profile
opencode-multi run personal

Commands

create <name> [--init]

Create a new profile with scaffolded directory structure.

# Create a blank profile
opencode-multi create my-profile

# Create a profile initialized from existing OpenCode configuration
opencode-multi create my-profile --init

Without --init, creates:

• ~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/
• ~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/plugins/
• ~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/commands/
• ~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/agents/
• ~/.config/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/modes/
• ~/.local/share/opencode-multi/profiles/{name}/

With --init, copies your existing OpenCode config from ~/.config/opencode/ as the starting point.

list

Display all profiles with status information.

opencode-multi list

Output:

NAME       CONFIG   AUTH   STATUS
work       yes      yes    healthy
personal   yes      no     needs-auth

show <name>

Display detailed information about a profile.

opencode-multi show work

run <name> [-- <opencode-args>]

Launch OpenCode with the specified profile.

# Basic usage
opencode-multi run work

# With additional OpenCode arguments
opencode-multi run work -- --model openai/gpt-5

clone <source> <destination>

Copy an existing profile to a new profile.

opencode-multi clone work work-backup

remove <name> [--yes]

Delete a profile and all its data.

# With confirmation prompt
opencode-multi remove old-profile

# Skip confirmation
opencode-multi remove old-profile --yes

doctor

Check system health and profile status.

opencode-multi doctor

Output:

[ok] opencode found at /usr/local/bin/opencode
[ok] Config root exists
[ok] Data root exists
[ok] Profile 'work' healthy
[warn] Profile 'personal' needs authentication

How It Works

OpenCode reads configuration from a config directory and stores runtime data (including auth.json) in a data directory. opencode-multi works by:

1. Managing separate config/data directories per profile
2. Setting environment variables when launching OpenCode:
   • OPENCODE_CONFIG_DIR → profile's config directory
   • XDG_DATA_HOME → profile's data parent directory
   • OPENCODE_PROFILE → profile name (for reference)

This approach requires no modifications to OpenCode itself.

Profile Lifecycle Example

# 1. Create work profile
opencode-multi create work

# 2. Run OpenCode and authenticate with work account
opencode-multi run work
# Inside OpenCode: /connect (authenticate with work provider)

# 3. Create personal profile
opencode-multi create personal

# 4. Run OpenCode and authenticate with personal account
opencode-multi run personal
# Inside OpenCode: /connect (authenticate with personal provider)

# 5. Switch between profiles anytime
opencode-multi run work      # Uses work auth
opencode-multi run personal  # Uses personal auth

Requirements

• Rust 1.70+ (for building from source)
• OpenCode installed and available in PATH
