Does running OpenCode inside Pane break its LSP integration?

No. Each pane is a full checkout of your repo, so OpenCode's language servers work on that worktree as usual.

Can I run multiple OpenCode sessions in parallel?

Yes. Create a pane per task; each gets its own worktree, branch and OpenCode session.

Can I mix OpenCode with other agents in the same workspace?

Yes. Put OpenCode in one pane and Claude Code, Codex or Aider in others. Separate worktrees keep them apart.

Does OpenCode's share-link feature work when running inside Pane?

Pane doesn't change OpenCode's features, so sharing works as it does in any terminal.

Can I use different model providers in different OpenCode sessions?

Yes. Each session is its own OpenCode process, so you can pick a different provider or model in each pane.

Does Pane work on Windows without WSL?

Yes. Pane runs natively on Windows, and OpenCode installs natively there through Scoop or Chocolatey. If your repo lives in WSL, Pane runs the terminal inside the distro instead.

How does Pane handle OpenCode's TUI rendering?

Pane's terminals are real terminals, so OpenCode's full-screen interface renders normally.

Does Pane integrate with OpenCode's git workflow?

OpenCode works on the pane's branch, and Pane adds a diff view and buttons to commit, push and open a pull request.

What does Pane add over using a terminal multiplexer with OpenCode?

A worktree per session made for you, status in the sidebar, a diff view, git actions, and native Windows support without WSL.

When is a single OpenCode session enough?

When you're working on one thing at a time.

Agents · OpenCode

opencode with multi-agent sessions on any os

TL;DR

OpenCode is the most-starred open source coding agent, a terminal UI that works with many model providers and uses language servers to understand your code. Pane runs several OpenCode sessions in parallel, each on its own branch in its own worktree, without tmux or manual git commands. It installs natively on Windows through Scoop or Chocolatey as well as on macOS and Linux. A single session is enough when you're working on one thing.

OpenCode is a full-screen terminal app, so it needs a real terminal to look right. Pane gives it one per task, each on its own branch.

What is OpenCode?

OpenCode is an open source coding agent for the terminal, MIT-licensed and, with about 212,000 GitHub stars, the most-starred project in the category. It works with many model providers and uses language servers for code intelligence. There's also a desktop app.

Quickstart

Install OpenCode, create a pane, open a terminal, type opencode.

1Install OpenCode

macOS, Linux or WSL

curl -fsSL https://opencode.ai/install | bash

Windows

scoop install opencode

Any OS with Node.js

npm i -g opencode-ai@latest

2Create a pane
Press Ctrl+N (⌘N on a Mac), pick the repo and branch, and create it. Pane makes a worktree for the pane.
3Start OpenCode
Open a terminal in the pane with Ctrl+Alt+1 (⌘⌥1 on a Mac), or pick Terminal from the Ctrl+T menu, and type opencode. To launch it with one keystroke next time, save it as a custom command; your first four custom commands get shortcuts.

Pane's Create Pane dialog with repository, base branch, pane name and the Use worktree toggle — Creating a pane for a new taskThe same dialog works for every agent. OpenCode runs in the terminal of the pane it creates.
1.Repository and base branch: Pick the repo and the branch OpenCode should start from.
2.Pane name: Becomes the new branch name. Name it after the task.
3.Use worktree: On by default, so this OpenCode session gets its own folder and branch.
4.Create: Opens the pane in its new worktree. Open a terminal there and type opencode.

What works with OpenCode in Pane

Everything Pane does around the terminal works. Agent-specific extras are for its three built-in agents.

✓OpenCode's TUI in a Pane terminalPane's terminals are real terminals, so the full-screen interface renders and takes keys as usual.

✓Language servers per worktreeEach pane is a full checkout, so OpenCode's language servers index that worktree.

✓Its own worktree and branchEach pane is a separate git worktree, so several sessions never touch each other's files.

✓Diff view and git actionsSee what changed, commit, push, rebase and open a pull request from the pane.

✓Ports and env per paneEach pane gets its own port block in PANE_PORT, and .env files are copied into new worktrees.

~Status in the sidebarPane shows terminal activity. Detailed working, waiting and done states are tuned for Claude Code, Codex and Cursor.

~Resume after restartLayout and terminal output come back. Add a custom resume template if the agent can resume a conversation by ID.

✕Usage and cost trackingPane tracks usage for Claude Code and Codex only.

Parallel sessions, one branch each

A pane per task replaces tmux and manual worktrees.

Running several OpenCode sessions usually means tmux panes and git worktree commands by hand. In Pane, each task is a pane with its own worktree, branch, terminal and diff view, and the sidebar shows which one is active.

OpenCode next to other agents

Different agents, different models, separate branches.

Use OpenCode with one provider in one pane and Claude Code or Codex in another, or several OpenCode sessions on different models. Each pane has its own worktree, so they never edit the same files.

When one OpenCode session is enough

If you're working on one thing in one terminal, OpenCode on its own is fine. Pane helps once you want several sessions at once, each isolated and reviewable.
