DevNest
A single-binary command line toolkit for the routine work that surrounds writing code.
Which process holds port 5173? How big has node_modules grown across every project on this
machine? Did anyone commit an API key last week? What is the SHA-256 of this artifact? What is
actually inside this JWT?
Those problems are solved somewhere, but each on a different command, per operating system, with a personal pile of extra utilities and a browser tab for the rest. DevNest collects them into one executable with one consistent interface that behaves identically on Windows, Linux, and macOS.
> Status: 1.0.0. The compatibility promise has begun: command names, flag names, JSON field > names, and exit codes are frozen for the major version. See docs/roadmap.md.
Install
macOS (Homebrew)
brew tap zeeqsleepy/devnest
brew install --cask devnest
Linux (Debian/Ubuntu), or the .rpm for Fedora/RHEL:
curl -LO https://github.com/zeeqsleepy/DevNest/releases/latest/download/devnest_linux_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i devnest_linux_amd64.deb
Without a package manager: Windows, or a locked-down machine with no installer. Download the archive for your platform from the releases page, extract the binary, and put it on PATH. Done. No runtime, no elevation, no installer.
From source (Go 1.25+):
go install github.com/devnest/devnest/cmd/devnest@latest
Verify with devnest version and devnest doctor. More detail, checksum verification, shell
completion, and uninstalling are in docs/installation.md.
What it does
Every command reads plain JSON with --output json and returns a meaningful exit code, so the
same tool works on a terminal and in a CI script.

The full command surface and every flag are in docs/commands.md and docs/cli-reference.md.
How it behaves
- One binary, no runtime. A static Go executable. Download, put on PATH, done.
- Identical on every platform. Where the operating systems differ, the difference is absorbed inside DevNest; Windows is the primary development platform, not a port done afterwards.
- Every command speaks JSON.
--output jsonon anything. The table view is a rendering of the same data, and the JSON never contains less. - Nothing leaves your machine unasked. Only
devnest networkopens a socket, and only to the address you named. No telemetry, no analytics, no update check, not even opt-in. - Safe by default. Nothing destructive happens without an explicit flag.
devnest cleandeletes only known build/dependency directories, re-checks each one immediately before removing it, and does nothing at all without--apply. A password given to a security command is never logged, stored, or printed.
