Rudu

Rudu is a Bun-powered terminal UI for managing background Pi coding agent sessions across git worktrees.

Install

Rudu expects:

• git on your PATH
• pi on your PATH
• at least one Pi model already configured

Once those are ready, install with the GitHub-hosted installer:

curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/tanvesh01/rudu/main/install.sh | sh

The installer:

• checks for git
• checks for pi
• verifies pi --list-models returns at least one model
• installs Bun if it is missing
• installs Rudu globally from this GitHub repo with Bun

TODO

• Move Pi readiness checks fully to app startup instead of blocking install. Installation should stay lightweight, while rudu itself should explain missing Pi setup when launched.
• Show a ↓ New messages indicator when the user is scrolled up and new chat output arrives.
• Show an animated busy spinner next to worktrees in the sidebar instead of plain status text.
