# Why Linked worktrees currently load their own project hook declarations, so the same repo can present different hook definitions depending on which checkout is active. https://github.com/openai/codex/pull/21762 tried to share trust by giving matching worktree hooks a shared synthetic key, but review pointed out that divergent worktree hook definitions would then fight over one `trusted_hash`. Instead of introducing a second trust model, this makes linked worktrees use the root checkout as the single source of truth for project hook declarations. Worktree-local project config can still diverge for unrelated settings, but project hooks now keep one real source path and one trust state per repo. # What - Teach project config loading to remember the matching root-checkout `.codex/` folder for actual linked-worktree project layers. - Keep ordinary project config sourced from the worktree, but replace project hook declarations with the root checkout's matching layer before hook discovery runs, including linked-worktree layers with `.codex/` but no local `config.toml`. - Make hook discovery use that authoritative hook folder for both `hooks.json` and TOML hook source paths, so linked worktrees produce the same hook key and trust state as the root checkout. - Cover the linked-worktree path plus regressions for missing worktree `config.toml` and nested non-worktree project roots.
npm i -g @openai/codex
or brew install --cask codex
Codex CLI is a coding agent from OpenAI that runs locally on your computer.
If you want Codex in your code editor (VS Code, Cursor, Windsurf), install in your IDE.
If you want the desktop app experience, run
codex app or visit the Codex App page.
If you are looking for the cloud-based agent from OpenAI, Codex Web, go to chatgpt.com/codex.
Quickstart
Installing and running Codex CLI
Install globally with your preferred package manager:
# Install using npm
npm install -g @openai/codex
# Install using Homebrew
brew install --cask codex
Then simply run codex to get started.
You can also go to the latest GitHub Release and download the appropriate binary for your platform.
Each GitHub Release contains many executables, but in practice, you likely want one of these:
- macOS
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
codex-aarch64-apple-darwin.tar.gz - x86_64 (older Mac hardware):
codex-x86_64-apple-darwin.tar.gz
- Apple Silicon/arm64:
- Linux
- x86_64:
codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz - arm64:
codex-aarch64-unknown-linux-musl.tar.gz
- x86_64:
Each archive contains a single entry with the platform baked into the name (e.g., codex-x86_64-unknown-linux-musl), so you likely want to rename it to codex after extracting it.
