OpenAI Codex CLI

I was surprised recently to see that gemini-cli[0] and codex[1] each have way more GitHub stars than Claude Code[3]. Currently 62k, 31k, and 25k respectively. Stars are only a proxy for use, of course, but I'm not sure what a closer public indicator might be. 1. https://github.com/google-gemini/gemini-cli 3. <a href="https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code">https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code</a>.
