Open terminal\n2. `cd` into your folder\n3. Run `gemini`, `codex`, `claude`, etc.\n\nCLI Here removes those steps by adding Explorer context menu actions that open your selected CLI directly in the target folder.\n\n---\n\n## Highlights\n\n- Context menu integration in three contexts:\n  - Folder right-click\n  - Folder background right-click\n  - Desktop background right-click\n- Built-in CLIs:\n  - AntiGravity CLI\n  - OpenCode\n  - Claude Code\n  - OpenAI Codex CLI\n  - Cursor CLI\n  - Windsurf CLI\n  - Aider\n  - Continue\n  - Cline\n- Custom CLI definitions (add/remove)\n- Terminal modes:\n  - Windows Terminal\n  - PowerShell\n  - PowerShell 7 (`pwsh`, fallback-aware)\n  - CMD\n  - Git Bash\n- Optional administrator launch (`runas` + UAC)\n- Explorer menu grouping under a single `CLI Here` cascade parent\n- One-click Repair / Remove-all registry actions\n- GitHub Releases-based auto-update baseline\n- Robust CLI detection: process PATH + registry PATH (HKCU/HKLM) + well-known fallback folders (npm, `.local/bin`, `.cargo/bin`, `.dotnet/tools`, etc.)\n- Blue dark theme with a fully themed in-app message dialog\n\n---\n\n## Runtime Requirement\n\nDefault release packaging uses **framework-dependent publish** (`self-contained=false`) to keep downloads small.\n\nYou need:\n\n- **.NET 9 Desktop Runtime (x64)** on the target Windows machine\n\n---\n\n## Installation (Release)\n\n1. Download latest assets from [Releases](https://github.com/jeiel85/cli-here/releases/latest)\n2. Use:\n   - `CliHere-win-x64.zip` for normal app delivery\n   - `CliHere.exe` + `CliHere.exe.sha256` for update flow verification/debugging\n3. Extract and run `CliHere.exe`\n4. Configure options and click `Apply`\n\n---\n\n## Supported CLI Table\n\n| CLI | Command | Detection | Install / Docs |\n|---|---|---|---|\n| AntiGravity CLI | `agy` | PATH | https://github.com/nicholasgasior/antigravity-cli |\n| OpenCode | `opencode` | PATH | https://opencode.ai/docs/cli/ |\n| Claude Code | `claude` | PATH | https://docs.claude.com/en/docs/claude-code/setup |\n| OpenAI Codex CLI | `codex` | PATH | https://help.openai.com/en/articles/11096431-openai-codex-ci-getting-started |\n| Cursor CLI | `cursor` | PATH | https://cursor.sh/docs |\n| Windsurf CLI | `windsurf` | PATH | https://windsurf.com/docs |\n| Aider | `aider` | PATH | https://aider.chat/docs |\n| Continue | `continue` | PATH | https://continue.dev/docs |\n| Cline | `cline` | PATH | https://cline.bot/docs |\n\nCLI Here does **not** auto-install third-party CLIs. It only detects availability and provides official links.\n\n---\n\n## Security Principles\n\n- No telemetry\n- No analytics SDKs\n- No background network scanning of projects\n- No project file upload\n- Registry scope limited to `HKLM\\SOFTWARE\\Classes`\n- Only `CliHere_`-prefixed keys are touched (never modifies other apps' menu entries)\n\n---\n\n## Apply requires UAC\n\nClicking **Apply / Repair / Remove all** triggers a **one-time UAC prompt**.\n\n- Starting with Windows 11 25H2, the shell stopped honoring per-user (HKCU) context menu entries (Microsoft tightened shell security). The integration must therefore live in the system hive (HKLM).\n- The app spawns a short-lived elevated child process that performs only the registry update and exits — the main window keeps running unprivileged.\n- Declining UAC is safe; the app shows a friendly message and continues.\n\n---\n\n## How to find the menu on Windows 11\n\nThe Windows 11 **new (default) right-click menu hides classic registry entries by design**. Use either of:\n\n1. `Shift` + right-click → classic menu opens immediately\n2. Right-click → click `Show more options` at the bottom\n\nHover `CLI Here` in the classic menu to expand the cascade with all nine CLIs.\n\n\u003e Windows 10 classic menu users will see the entry without any extra step.\n\n---\n\n## Localization\n\n- English\n- Korean\n\nKorean docs: [README.ko.md](./README.ko.md)\n\n---\n\n## Development\n\n### Tech Stack\n\n- C# / .NET 9 / WPF\n- xUnit\n- GitHub Actions\n\n### Commands\n\n```powershell\ndotnet restore\ndotnet build --configuration Release\ndotnet test --configuration Release\n```\n\n---\n\n## Roadmap Snapshot\n\n- [x] MVP foundation + context menu + launcher modes\n- [x] Custom CLI definitions\n- [x] Repair / Remove-all actions\n- [x] PowerShell 7 mode\n- [x] Blue dark theme + themed in-app message dialog\n- [x] HKLM registration with one-time UAC elevation (Win11 25H2 compatible)\n- [x] Robust CLI detection (registry PATH + well-known folder fallbacks)\n- [x] Desktop-background context support\n- [~] Auto-update hardening and rollout validation\n- [ ] Windows 11 *new* right-click menu (`IExplorerCommand` COM DLL / MSIX Sparse Package — separate effort)\n\n---\n\n## License\n\nMIT\n","project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjeiel85%2Fcli-here-windows","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fjeiel85%2Fcli-here-windows","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fjeiel85%2Fcli-here-windows/lists"}
