Feature hasn't been suggested before.

  • I have verified this feature I'm about to request hasn't been suggested before.

Describe the enhancement you want to request

Current: The CLI binary is named opencode-cli, and the GUI binary is opencode.

Suggestion:
Rename the CLI binary to simply opencode (for consistency with other platforms and ease of use).
Rename the GUI binary to opencode-gui (or similar) to avoid confusion.
Installer Option: Add a checkbox in the installer to automatically add the install path to the system PATH environment variable. This would allow users to run opencode from anywhere in the terminal, and would also enable the VSCode extension to work seamlessly with the installed binary.

As a workaround I've manually added the OpenCode install directory to PATH and use the opencode-cli binary, but even the --help text mentions the usual opencode (without-cli) commands.

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

  • #7666: [FEATURE]: Rename Windows Opencode Desktop opencode.exe as opencode-desktop.exe - Directly addresses the binary renaming request (opencode.exe → opencode-desktop.exe, opencode-cli.exe → opencode.exe)
  • #5884: [FEATURE]: Add standard CLI flags to install script (--help, --version, --no-modify-path) - Related to PATH integration and installer options mentioned in this issue

Feel free to ignore if these don't address your specific case.
