Crush

Crush is a powerful AI coding agent for the terminal (CLI + TUI). It supports multiple models to handle code generation, debugging, file operations, and more — all inside your command line.

Homebrew (Recommended for macOS)
NPM (Cross-Platform)
Arch Linux
Nix

brew install charmbracelet/tap/crush

npm install -g @charmland/crush

yay -S crush-bin

nix run github:numtide/nix-ai-tools#crush

Step 2: Configuring the GLM Model

%USERPROFILE%\.config\crush\crush.json

2. Switch to the GLM Coding Plan Endpoint

Open the crush.json file and configure it as follows, making sure to replace with your API KEY:

{
  "providers": {
    "zai": {
      "id": "zai",
      "name": "ZAI Provider",
      "base_url": "https://api.z.ai/api/coding/paas/v4",

    }
  }
}
