Blitzdenk targets Zig 0.16 and POSIX systems.

Download

Download pre-built binaries from the release page:

https://github.com/Lommix/blitzdenk/releases

Compile

zig build --release=small
cp zig-out/bin/blitz ~/.local/bin/blitz

Run

blitz
blitz /path/to/project
blitz prompt "summarize this repository"
blitz help

The default command starts the TUI in the current directory. Passing a path starts it in that directory. prompt starts the TUI with initial input.

Flags

Flag	Effect
--log	writes .blitz/debug.log in the working directory
--strict	requests permissions instead of using the relaxed default

Config files

On first run, Blitzdenk creates:

File	Purpose
~/.config/blitzdenk/blitz.lua	user config loaded at startup
~/.config/blitzdenk/meta.lua	generated Lua type hints
./blitz.lua	optional project-local config, loaded when present

The global config is where providers, tools, agents, keybinds, commands, MCP servers, and LSP servers are configured. A project-local blitz.lua is useful for repository-specific prompts or tools.

SSH mode

Inside the TUI, use:

:ssh username@host:/path/to/cwd

SSH mode makes read, write, edit, bash, patch, and ripgrep operate against the remote target through the command layer. exit_ssh returns to local execution.
