Get Started

Welcome to Gunamaya

Gunamaya is a cross-platform IDE for writing, running, and testing software of every kind — with Gunamaya AI, a native AI pair programmer built into the editor itself.

Most editors ask you to bolt on a dozen extensions before they feel complete: a chat assistant here, a REST client there, a browser tab for checking your work somewhere else entirely. Gunamaya starts from a different premise — the editor, the AI, and the tools you use to prove your code actually works should live in one place, speak to each other, and get out of your way.

Gunamaya's editing core covers everything you'd expect from a modern, professional IDE — IntelliSense, multi-cursor editing, an enormous extension ecosystem, Git built in, an integrated terminal — refined and extended with everything layered on top of it: a native AI pair programmer, a real automation-capable browser, and cross-platform builds treated as a first-class target from day one.

What makes Gunamaya different

Gunamaya AI, a native AI

No proprietary backend, no vendor lock-in. Gunamaya AI runs as a first-class part of the workbench and connects to the model provider you choose — bring your own key, switch providers per task, and keep every conversation local to your machine.

Built to test, not just write

A full, Playwright-backed browser lives inside the editor — tabs, devtools, screenshots, and all — so an AI agent (or you) can open the app you just built and actually click around it, in the same window as the code.

Open extension ecosystem

Extensions install from Open VSX, a vendor-neutral marketplace — no proprietary registry terms standing between you and the tools you want.

Every platform, one binary family

Windows (x64 and Arm64), macOS (Apple Silicon and Intel), and Linux (x64, Arm64, and Arm32) are all first-class targets — not an afterthought bolted on later.

Where to start

1

Install Gunamaya

Grab the build for your platform and architecture. See Install Gunamaya for Windows, macOS, and Linux downloads, or jump straight to your platform's setup guide for install-specific notes.

2

Take the five-minute tour

Learn your way around the Activity Bar, the editor groups, and the Command Palette in Your First Five Minutes.

3

Meet Gunamaya AI

Open the AI panel, pick a model, and ask it to explain a file, plan a change, or fix a bug. Start with the Gunamaya AI overview.

4

Point it at something to test

Open the Integrated Browser next to your code and see your app update live as you edit — no separate window, no context switch.

How this documentation is organized

Editor

Everything about writing and navigating code: IntelliSense, refactoring, multi-root workspaces, and accessibility.

Gunamaya AI

Modes, models and providers, tools, rules, and how Gunamaya AI keeps your code and conversations private.

Terminal & Source Control

The integrated terminal, shell integration, and Git workflows without leaving the editor.

Settings and keybindings are just files

Your whole setup lives in plain, portable files — settings.json for preferences and keybindings.json for shortcuts — so backing up, sharing, or moving your configuration between machines is as simple as copying two files. See Settings and Keyboard Shortcuts.
