Use Codeclip directly

Three steps take you from a local repository to a narrated explanation. You don’t need Rust, Node, or model provider keys.

Install

brew install sidhantchadda/codeclip/codeclip

Supports macOS Apple silicon and Linux ARM64. Update with brew upgrade codeclip. Intel/AMD and Windows builds are not available yet. macOS builds are not yet notarized.

Sign in

codeclip login

Complete sign-in in your browser. Use the same Codeclip account as your video library.

Create a clip

codeclip generate /path/to/repository \
  --prompt "How does this queue handle retries?" \
  --wait

Codeclip investigates the local repository, uploads a technical report, and generates the video in the cloud. The CLI prints a tracking link immediately after reserving the run.

Keep the terminal open until the report uploads. --wait follows cloud generation until completion. Without it, the command exits after handoff and the cloud continues working.

Other installation options

Without Homebrew:

curl -fsSL https://trycodeclip.com/install.sh | sh
export PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"

Or download the macOS Apple silicon archive or Linux ARM64 archive. Verify downloads against SHA256 checksums.

Using a coding agent?

Install the agent skill so your agent can write briefs and run Codeclip for you.
