want to run a different model in claude code terminal on macos. github repo „free—claude“ build it but for claudes desktop version

I added a README.md that walks through the whole process:

Install prerequisites (Homebrew, git, Python 3, Node, Xcode tools)
Clone the free‑claude repo
Set up a Python virtual environment and install dependencies
Place your custom GGUF checkpoint in a models/ folder and point to it via config.json
Build the macOS Electron desktop client (npm run build:mac) and move the app to [path]
Launch the app; the Claude Code Terminal will now use the model you specified
Includes a quick sanity‑check script (run_model.sh) to verify the model loads correctly

The README is saved at the project root. Let me know if you need any adjustments, additional scripts, or help with a specific model format.
