About GitHub
OpenHands is a self-hosted developer control center for coding agents and automations. It allows users to run multiple coding agents such as OpenHands, Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini across local, remote, and cloud backends. The platform supports creating automations and workflows that integrate with tools like Slack, GitHub, Linear, and Notion. It runs locally by default but can connect to Docker containers, VMs, or cloud infrastructure. Agent Canvas, the interface, provides a unified view for managing agent conversations, automating tasks, and decomposing GitHub issues. The project is open-source and community-driven.
