Commands

devit init — Project wizard

Interactively scaffold a new project. Asks for:

Question	Options
Project type	Python Package · FastAPI · Django · AWS Scripts
Environment	New venv · Existing Python interpreter · New conda · Existing conda env · Skip
Python version	e.g. 3.11

devit init                          # fully interactive
devit init my-api --type fastapi --env venv
devit init my-lib --type package --env conda --python 3.12
devit init my-app -y                # skip confirmation prompt

devit dev / run / build / test — Unified task runner

Auto-detects project type and runs the right command:

Command	Package	FastAPI	Django	AWS
devit dev	pip install -e .[dev]	uvicorn main:app --reload	manage.py runserver	sam local start-api
devit run	python -m <module>	uvicorn main:app	manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0	python -m scripts.main
devit build	python -m build	pip install -r requirements.txt	pip install -r requirements.txt	sam build
devit test	pytest -v	pytest -v	manage.py test	pytest -v

devit dev
devit test
devit build
devit run -- --port 9000    # extra args forwarded

---

devit clean — Remove artifacts

devit clean                  # clean cwd
devit clean ./my-project     # clean specific dir
devit clean --dry-run        # preview only
devit clean --include-venv   # also remove .venv
devit clean -y               # skip confirmation

Removes: __pycache__, *.pyc, .pytest_cache, build/, dist/, *.egg-info, .DS_Store, *.log, node_modules, .coverage, and more.

---

devit info — System snapshot

devit info
devit info --json

Shows: OS, hostname, Python version + executable, active venv/conda env, CPU count + frequency, RAM usage, disk usage.

---

devit find — Fast file search

devit find "*.py"
devit find "config" -e toml -e ini
devit find "*" --min-size 1mb --newer-than 7    # >1 MB, modified in last 7 days
devit find --dirs-only "src"
devit find "*" -l 500                           # show up to 500 results

---

devit zip / devit unzip — Archive utilities

devit zip dist.zip src/ README.md
devit zip dist.zip . -x __pycache__ -x "*.pyc" -l 9
devit unzip dist.zip ./output
devit unzip dist.zip --list     # show contents without extracting

---

devit env — Environment variable management

devit env list                        # list all env vars
devit env list --filter AWS           # filter by keyword
devit env list --json                 # JSON output

devit env export                      # save to .env  (dotenv format)
devit env export vars.json --format json
devit env export activate.sh  --format shell       # bash / zsh
devit env export activate.ps1 --format powershell  # Windows PowerShell
devit env export activate.bat --format cmd         # Windows CMD

devit env diff .env .env.production   # show what changed

---

devit deps — Dependency manager with history & rollback

Wraps pip with a clean interface, tracks dependency snapshots, and lets you roll back when an upgrade breaks things.

Install & uninstall

devit deps add requests                   # install + save to requirements.txt
devit deps add "flask>=3.0" sqlalchemy    # multiple packages
devit deps add numpy --no-save           # install without touching requirements.txt
devit deps remove flask                  # uninstall + remove from requirements.txt

Inspect

devit deps list                # list all installed packages in the project env
devit deps list --json         # JSON output
devit deps outdated            # show packages that have newer versions available
devit deps outdated --json

Upgrade all at once

devit deps add .               # upgrade every outdated package & update requirements.txt

Snapshot history

Save the current working state before making changes:

devit deps snapshot                        # save current packages
devit deps snapshot -m "works with v3.0"  # save with a label
devit deps history                         # list all saved snapshots

Example output of devit deps history:

┏━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
┃ ID  ┃ Message                   ┃ Packages ┃ Saved At
┡━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
│ #2  │ works with v3.0           │       14 │ 2026-04-03T12:00:00
│ #1  │ Snapshot #1               │       12 │ 2026-04-01T09:30:00

Diff — see what changed and spot issues

devit deps diff        # compare current env to latest snapshot
devit deps diff 1      # compare to snapshot #1

Example output when an upgrade broke something:

 Diff: current  vs  Snapshot #1
┏━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━┳━━━━━━━━━━━━━
┃ Package  ┃ Snapshot ┃ Current  ┃ Status
┡━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━╇━━━━━━━━━━━━━
│ flask    │ 2.3.3    │ 3.1.0    │ ~changed
│ werkzeug │ 2.3.7    │ —        │ -removed

Issues detected:
  • flask version changed  2.3.3 → 3.1.0
  • werkzeug was removed (snapshot had 2.3.7)

  Run devit deps rollback 1 to restore this snapshot.

Rollback — restore exact pinned versions

devit deps rollback        # restore latest snapshot
devit deps rollback 1      # restore snapshot #1
devit deps rollback 1 -y   # skip confirmation

Snapshots are stored in .devit/dep_snapshots.json inside your project directory.
