* Removed the fixed-height clamp on each kanban column so the droppable area now grows with its contents, allowing drops below the fold (`frontend/src/components/ui/shadcn-io/kanban/index.tsx:56`). **Verification** - Not run (please drag a card to a column section below the fold in the UI to confirm the drop now registers). **Next Steps** 1. If everything feels good, rerun your usual frontend checks (`npm run check` / `npm run lint`) to be safe. * - Kanban column droppables no longer stretch to the grid’s fixed height, letting their hitboxes grow with overflowing cards (`frontend/src/components/ui/shadcn-io/kanban/index.tsx:55`). - Grid wrapper now aligns columns to the top and uses `min-h-full` instead of `h-full`, so the overall droppable area expands with content while still filling the viewport (`frontend/src/components/ui/shadcn-io/kanban/index.tsx:123`). Verification - Not run. Please drag a card onto a column section below the fold to confirm the drop now succeeds. * Kanban columns now stretch to match the tallest column while keeping the drop targets working below the fold. I switched the grid wrapper to stretch its children so every column inherits the same track height, and I removed the leftover debug log (`frontend/src/components/ui/shadcn-io/kanban/index.tsx:137` and `frontend/src/components/ui/shadcn-io/kanban/index.tsx:205`). With the earlier `h-full` clamp gone, droppables still follow the content height; now shorter columns pick up the extra space so borders remain continuous all the way down. Verification - Not run. Please sanity-check in the UI by dragging across tall columns and confirming the vertical dividers stay visible through the scroll region. Next Steps 1. Run `npm run lint` or `npm run check` to be safe before opening the PR.

Overview
AI coding agents are increasingly writing the world's code and human engineers now spend the majority of their time planning, reviewing, and orchestrating tasks. Vibe Kanban streamlines this process, enabling you to:
- Easily switch between different coding agents
- Orchestrate the execution of multiple coding agents in parallel or in sequence
- Quickly review work and start dev servers
- Track the status of tasks that your coding agents are working on
- Centralise configuration of coding agent MCP configs
- Open projects remotely via SSH when running Vibe Kanban on a remote server
You can watch a video overview here.
Installation
Make sure you have authenticated with your favourite coding agent. A full list of supported coding agents can be found in the docs. Then in your terminal run:
npx vibe-kanban
Documentation
Please head to the website for the latest documentation and user guides.
Support
We use GitHub Discussions for feature requests. Please open a discussion to create a feature request. For bugs please open an issue on this repo.
Contributing
We would prefer that ideas and changes are first raised with the core team via GitHub Discussions or Discord, where we can discuss implementation details and alignment with the existing roadmap. Please do not open PRs without first discussing your proposal with the team.
Development
Prerequisites
Additional development tools:
cargo install cargo-watch
cargo install sqlx-cli
Install dependencies:
pnpm i
Running the dev server
pnpm run dev
This will start the backend. A blank DB will be copied from the dev_assets_seed folder.
Building the frontend
To build just the frontend:
cd frontend
pnpm build
Build from source
- Run
build-npm-package.sh - In the
npx-clifolder runnpm pack - You can run your build with
npx [GENERATED FILE].tgz
Environment Variables
The following environment variables can be configured at build time or runtime:
| Variable | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID |
Build-time | Ov23li9bxz3kKfPOIsGm |
GitHub OAuth app client ID for authentication |
POSTHOG_API_KEY |
Build-time | Empty | PostHog analytics API key (disables analytics if empty) |
POSTHOG_API_ENDPOINT |
Build-time | Empty | PostHog analytics endpoint (disables analytics if empty) |
BACKEND_PORT |
Runtime | 0 (auto-assign) |
Backend server port |
FRONTEND_PORT |
Runtime | 3000 |
Frontend development server port |
HOST |
Runtime | 127.0.0.1 |
Backend server host |
DISABLE_WORKTREE_ORPHAN_CLEANUP |
Runtime | Not set | Disable git worktree cleanup (for debugging) |
Build-time variables must be set when running pnpm run build. Runtime variables are read when the application starts.
Custom GitHub OAuth App (Optional)
By default, Vibe Kanban uses Bloop AI's GitHub OAuth app for authentication. To use your own GitHub app for self-hosting or custom branding:
- Create a GitHub OAuth App at GitHub Developer Settings
- Enable "Device Flow" in the app settings
- Set scopes to include
user:email,repo - Build with your client ID:
GITHUB_CLIENT_ID=your_client_id_here pnpm run build
Remote Deployment
When running Vibe Kanban on a remote server (e.g., via systemctl, Docker, or cloud hosting), you can configure your editor to open projects via SSH:
- Access via tunnel: Use Cloudflare Tunnel, ngrok, or similar to expose the web UI
- Configure remote SSH in Settings → Editor Integration:
- Set Remote SSH Host to your server hostname or IP
- Set Remote SSH User to your SSH username (optional)
- Prerequisites:
- SSH access from your local machine to the remote server
- SSH keys configured (passwordless authentication)
- VSCode Remote-SSH extension
When configured, the "Open in VSCode" buttons will generate URLs like vscode://vscode-remote/ssh-remote+user@host/path that open your local editor and connect to the remote server.
See the documentation for detailed setup instructions.
