hstack (local stack)

hstack (Happier Stack)

Self-host, run, and develop Happier locally with stacks + worktrees.

hstack is the official local “stack orchestrator” for Happier. It’s designed for:

self-hosting the full Happier stack on your machine
running multiple isolated instances (“stacks”) in parallel
developing Happier safely using git worktrees (clean PR history)
contributor workflows (dev branch, fork PRs)

For interactive development, prefer running commands via the TUI wrapper:

hstack tui stack dev dev
