devvm tools

Show or choose this folder’s VM’s shared tools

Synopsis

In a terminal, choose the toolchains and coding agents of this folder’s VM in a list, which shows its layers too, then open a shell in it. Without a terminal, or with –json, show its shared tools, each with its version and any newer version in devvm’s tools lock, which changes nothing, starts no VM and doesn’t go online.

devvm tools [flags]

Examples

  devvm tools                    # choose the VM's shared tools, or show them without a terminal
  devvm tools add python claude  # add python and Claude Code to the VM
  devvm tools update             # move the VM to the newest versions

Options

  -h, --help     help for tools
      --here     use this folder's own VM, never that of a folder it's inside
      --json     print it as one JSON object, for scripts
      --parent   use the VM of the nearest folder this one is inside, even across a git repo of its own

Options inherited from parent commands

      --no-input   never ask, and fail where devvm would ask, naming the flag that answers it
  -v, --verbose    show the output of the commands devvm runs instead of a status line
