Getting Started - Proliferate

More documentation coming soon for the web app, team features, and API. This page covers the CLI.

What is Proliferate?

Proliferate runs coding agents in cloud containers with your local files synced automatically. Why use it:

Cloud containers - Full Docker environments with more resources than your laptop
Log visibility - See exactly what the agent is doing in real-time
Preview URLs - Instant public URLs for dev servers to test and share

Requirements: macOS or Linux
