Kombai, by default, uses the Git Bash Terminal profile for Windows. In case, your system doesn’t have Git Bash, it will revert to Powershell.

​
Send to background

When a command runs for more than a few seconds, for example a dependency installation or a non-terminating command like npm run dev, the terminal command box shows the elapsed time and a Send to background link. Click Send to background to let Kombai stop waiting and continue the chat with the output so far. The command keeps running. Sometimes, Kombai may require the terminal operation to completely execute before proceeding further in the chat. In such cases, it will keep checking the terminal status.

​
Configure command approval

You can choose when terminal operations require approval in two places:
  1. Click the icon in Kombai’s top menubar.
  2. Open the Other tab in the settings.
  3. Select a Command approval mode:
    • Ask Every Time: Ask for approval before each command. Commands Kombai verifies as read-only run without asking.
    • Auto-approve for me: Let Kombai approve commands on your behalf.
    • Bypass permissions: Run every command without asking for approval.
  1. When a terminal command runs, click the current approval mode at the bottom left of the terminal command box.
  2. Select the command approval mode you want to use.
