Nimbus Documentation

Nimbus gives coding agents a real cloud workspace for every repository. Each sandbox includes a checkout, terminals, browser previews, desktop access, and the tools needed to inspect and change code without depending on your laptop.

What Nimbus is for

• Run Codex against GitHub repositories in isolated cloud machines.
• Preview web apps through stable forwarded ports.
• Inspect diffs, terminal output, and browser state from one workspace.
• Keep long-running coding sessions off local hardware.

How it works

Nimbus creates persistent cloud sandboxes from GitHub repositories. The web app coordinates the sandbox lifecycle, while the runtime inside each sandbox handles bootstrap, terminal sessions, desktop access, agent turns, and port previews.

Common workflow

1. Connect a GitHub repository.
2. Create a sandbox and wait for setup to complete.
3. Ask an agent to make a change.
4. Review the diff, preview the app, and continue iterating.

Where to go next

Start with Getting started if you are setting up your first workspace. Read Sandboxes for lifecycle details, or Agents to understand how agent turns are executed.
