        ## Acceptance
        
        In order to get any license under these terms, you must agree
        to them as both strict obligations and conditions to all
        your licenses.
        
        ## Copyright License
        
        The licensor grants you a copyright license for the
        software to do everything you might do with the software
        that would otherwise infringe the licensor's copyright
        in it for any permitted purpose.  However, you may
        only distribute the software according to [Distribution
        License](#distribution-license) and make changes or new works
        based on the software according to [Changes and New Works
        License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
        
        ## Distribution License
        
        The licensor grants you an additional copyright license
        to distribute copies of the software.  Your license
        to distribute covers distributing the software with
        changes and new works permitted by [Changes and New Works
        License](#changes-and-new-works-license).
        
        ## Notices
        
        You must ensure that anyone who gets a copy of any part of
        the software from you also gets a copy of these terms or the
        URL for them above, as well as copies of any plain-text lines
        beginning with `Required Notice:` that the licensor provided
        with the software.  For example:
        
        > Required Notice: Copyright Yoyodyne, Inc. (http://example.com)
        
        ## Changes and New Works License
        
        The licensor grants you an additional copyright license to
        make changes and new works based on the software for any
        permitted purpose.
        
        ## Patent License
        
        The licensor grants you a patent license for the software that
        covers patent claims the licensor can license, or becomes able
        to license, that you would infringe by using the software.
        
        ## Noncompete
        
        Any purpose is a permitted purpose, except for providing any
        product that competes with the software or any product the
        licensor or any of its affiliates provides using the software.
        
        ## Competition
        
        Goods and services compete even when they provide functionality
        through different kinds of interfaces or for different technical
        platforms.  Applications can compete with services, libraries
        with plugins, frameworks with development tools, and so on,
        even if they're written in different programming languages
        or for different computer architectures.  Goods and services
        compete even when provided free of charge.  If you market a
        product as a practical substitute for the software or another
        product, it definitely competes.
        
        ## New Products
        
        If you are using the software to provide a product that does
        not compete, but the licensor or any of its affiliates brings
        your product into competition by providing a new version of
        the software or another product using the software, you may
        continue using versions of the software available under these
        terms beforehand to provide your competing product, but not
        any later versions.
        
        ## Discontinued Products
        
        You may begin using the software to compete with a product
        or service that the licensor or any of its affiliates has
        stopped providing, unless the licensor includes a plain-text
        line beginning with `Licensor Line of Business:` with the
        software that mentions that line of business.  For example:
        
        > Licensor Line of Business: YoyodyneCMS Content Management
        System (http://example.com/cms)
        
        ## Sales of Business
        
        If the licensor or any of its affiliates sells a line of
        business developing the software or using the software
        to provide a product, the buyer can also enforce
        [Noncompete](#noncompete) for that product.
        
        ## Fair Use
        
        You may have "fair use" rights for the software under the
        law. These terms do not limit them.
        
        ## No Other Rights
        
        These terms do not allow you to sublicense or transfer any of
        your licenses to anyone else, or prevent the licensor from
        granting licenses to anyone else.  These terms do not imply
        any other licenses.
        
        ## Patent Defense
        
        If you make any written claim that the software infringes or
        contributes to infringement of any patent, your patent license
        for the software granted under these terms ends immediately. If
        your company makes such a claim, your patent license ends
        immediately for work on behalf of your company.
        
        ## Violations
        
        The first time you are notified in writing that you have
        violated any of these terms, or done anything with the software
        not covered by your licenses, your licenses can nonetheless
        continue if you come into full compliance with these terms,
        and take practical steps to correct past violations, within
        32 days of receiving notice.  Otherwise, all your licenses
        end immediately.
        
        ## No Liability
        
        ***As far as the law allows, the software comes as is, without
        any warranty or condition, and the licensor will not be liable
        to you for any damages arising out of these terms or the use
        or nature of the software, under any kind of legal claim.***
        
        ## Definitions
        
        The **licensor** is the individual or entity offering these
        terms, and the **software** is the software the licensor makes

        of them.

        organization has control over, is under the control of, or is

## <img src="docs/icons/why.svg" width="22" align="center"> Why altergo

You hit a rate limit mid-session. `altergo pro` swaps credentials in place. Same project, same history, no ramp-up.

- **Rate-limited, not stopped.** Another account is ready. Drop back into the same session.
- **Thinker, then sprinter.** One account for heavy reasoning, another for fast execution. Flip between them like gear ratios.
- **Work, personal, clients.** Each account isolated at `HOME`. Session history, settings, AWS/gh/kubectl shared by default.

Supports **Claude Code, Gemini CLI, Codex CLI, GitHub Copilot.** macOS and Linux.

---

## <img src="docs/icons/install.svg" width="22" align="center"> Install

```bash
pipx install altergo
```

Requires Python 3.10+ and at least one supported AI CLI on your PATH.

---

## <img src="docs/icons/quickstart.svg" width="22" align="center"> Quick start

```bash
# Name your accounts — run once per login you have
altergo --config hocus
altergo --config pocus

# Pick a default — bare `altergo` now launches it
altergo --use pocus
altergo

# Everything below runs against your default account.
# Prefix with an account name to override (e.g. `altergo hocus --yolo`).

altergo --yolo            # skip provider permission prompts
altergo --yolo-resume     # skip prompts + resume your last session
altergo --recall          # interactive picker across every account
altergo --search "query"  # full-text search across history
```

That's the full workflow. The first launch authenticates that account; subsequent launches drop you straight in.

## <img src="docs/icons/commands.svg" width="22" align="center"> Essential commands

| Command | What it does |
|---|---|
| `altergo <account>` | Launch as the named account |
| `altergo --config <account>` | Create or reconfigure an account |
| `altergo --use <account>` | Set the default for bare `altergo` |
| `altergo --recall` | TUI session picker across all accounts |
| `altergo --search <query>` | Full-text search across history |
| `altergo --yolo` / `--yolo-resume` | Skip permission prompts (optionally resume) |
| `altergo portal <account>` | tmux-backed session that survives SSH drops |
| `altergo native` | Launch against your real `$HOME`, no isolation |
| `altergo --settings` | Manage themes, behavior, shared credentials |
| `altergo --help` | Full reference |

---

## <img src="docs/icons/howitworks.svg" width="22" align="center"> How it works (in one paragraph)

altergo overrides `HOME` to `~/.altergo/accounts/<name>/` before exec'ing the provider binary. Each account keeps its own `.credentials.json`; everything else inside the provider's dot-dir (`projects/`, `settings.json`, `CLAUDE.md`, `agents/`, `skills/`, …) is a symlink back to your real `~/.claude/`. Same inode, no sync step. AWS, gcloud, Docker, kubectl, gh stay shared by default — toggle per-tool in `altergo --settings`.
