The Autter CLI is an open source Git extension for line-level AI authorship. It links generated lines to the coding agent, model, and prompt that produced them. Autter does not guess whether code came from AI. Supported coding agents create explicit checkpoints as they work. Autter turns those checkpoints into attribution metadata when you commit.

Install the CLI

Install Autter on macOS, Linux, Windows, or WSL.

Connect the platform

Sync attribution to dashboards, prompt search, and audit logs.

Inspect AI authorship

See the human or agent behind each line.

Control your data

Compare storage modes and opt out at any time.

​
What the CLI adds

  • Line-level attribution connects committed code to the agent session that created it.
  • AI-aware blame and diffs add authorship context to familiar Git workflows.
  • Commit statistics show AI acceptance, human edits, and tool or model breakdowns.
  • History preservation carries attribution through common operations such as rebase, merge, stash, cherry-pick, and amend.
  • Optional platform sync aggregates data by contributor, repository, pull request, team, agent, and model.

​
Choose an operating mode

Autter works offline without an account. Prompts stay in local SQLite storage. Attribution is written to Git notes.Choose this mode when you want personal attribution tools without hosted dashboards.
Connecting is optional. The open source CLI remains useful in local-only mode.

1

Install Autter

Follow the platform-specific command in Install the CLI.
2

Let Autter configure your agents

The installer detects supported coding agents and installs the required integration files.
3

Choose local-only or connected mode

Pick the storage and collaboration model that fits your work. You can change it later with autter onboard --force.
4

Prompt, commit, and inspect

Continue using your coding agent and normal Git workflow. Run autter status, autter stats, or autter blame <file> when you need attribution details.

Read how attribution works

Follow a checkpoint from an agent edit through commit, Git history, and the optional Autter platform.
