Teti Code Quickstart

Welcome to Teti Code! This quickstart guide will have you using AI-powered coding assistance in a few minutes. By the end, you'll understand how to use Teti Code for common development tasks.

Pro, Max, or Quantum plan required — Teti Code requires a paid Teti subscription or an API key. Not available with the free plan.

Before you begin

Make sure you have:

• A terminal or command prompt open
• A code project to work with
• A Teti account that meets the above requirements

Step 1: Install Teti Code

macOS / Linux / WSL

curl -fsSL "https://assets.teti.ai/teti-computer/install.sh" | bash

Windows PowerShell

irm "https://assets.teti.ai/teti-computer/install.ps1" | iex

Teti Code automatically updates in the background to keep you on the latest version.

Step 2: Authenticate

Use teticode auth login to configure your credentials:

teticode auth login

Your credentials are stored and you won't need to log in again. To see your authenticated providers:

teticode auth list

To log out:

teticode auth logout

Step 3: Start your first session

Open your terminal in any project directory and start Teti Code:

cd /path/to/your/project
teticode

You'll see the Teti Code welcome screen with your session information.

You can also continue a previous session:

teticode -c          # Continue the last session
teticode -s <id>     # Continue a specific session

Step 4: Choose a model

You can select which model to use with the -m flag:

teticode -m teti/N1

To see all available models from your configured providers:

teticode models

Step 5: Ask your first question

Start by understanding your codebase. Try one of these:

what does this project do?

Teti Code will analyze your files and provide a summary. You can also ask more specific questions:

what technologies does this project use?

where is the main entry point?

explain the folder structure

Teti Code reads your project files as needed. You don't have to manually add context.

Step 6: Make your first code change

Let Teti Code do some actual coding. Try a simple task:

add a hello world function to the main file

Teti Code will:

1. Find the appropriate file
2. Show you the proposed changes
3. Ask for your approval
4. Make the edit

Teti Code always asks for permission before modifying files. You can approve individual changes or enable "Accept all" mode for a session.

Step 7: Use Git with Teti Code

Teti Code makes Git operations conversational:

what files have I changed?

commit my changes with a descriptive message

create a new branch called feature/quickstart

help me resolve merge conflicts

Step 8: Fix a bug or add a feature

Describe what you want in natural language:

add input validation to the user registration form

Or fix existing issues:

there's a bug where users can submit empty forms - fix it

Teti Code will:

• Locate the relevant code
• Understand the context
• Implement a solution
• Run tests if available

Step 9: Other common workflows

Refactor code

refactor the authentication module to use async/await instead of callbacks

Write tests

write unit tests for the calculator functions

Update documentation

update the README with installation instructions

Code review

review my changes and suggest improvements

Talk to Teti Code like you would a helpful colleague. Describe what you want to achieve, and it will help you get there.

Non-interactive mode

You can run Teti Code without the TUI for quick one-off tasks:

teticode run "explain how closures work in JavaScript"

teticode run "fix the build error"

Essential commands

Command	What it does	Example
teticode	Start interactive TUI	teticode
teticode run "task"	Run a one-off task without TUI	teticode run "fix the build error"
teticode -c	Continue most recent session	teticode -c
teticode -m provider/model	Start with a specific model	teticode -m teti/N1
teticode models	List available models	teticode models
teticode auth login	Configure API key	teticode auth login
teticode session list	List past sessions	teticode session list
teticode stats	Show token/cost usage stats	teticode stats
teticode upgrade	Update to latest version	teticode upgrade

Pro tips

• Be specific: Instead of "fix the bug", try "fix the login bug where users see a blank screen after entering wrong credentials"
• Use step-by-step instructions: Break complex tasks into numbered steps
• Let Teti Code explore first: Before making changes, let Teti Code understand your code with prompts like "analyze the database schema"
• Use sessions: Continue previous conversations with teticode -c to keep context across sessions
