~/your-project
One command to go from git clone to a running dev environment. devme reads your project config, installs dependencies, starts services, and drops you into a live TUI. No README needed.

Features
󰌾Declarative env vars
Declare expected variables in devme.toml with defaults, help text, and auto-generate commands. New team members get prompted automatically.
󰒃Dependency checks
Steps verify prerequisites before services start. Missing Node.js? devme offers to install it. All checks pass? One clean line.
󰚡Service orchestration
Postgres, Redis, your API, your frontend — started in dependency order with health checks. Like docker-compose but for your whole dev stack.
󰒉Live TUI
A real terminal UI with per-service log streams, scrollback, filtering, and keyboard navigation. Not just interleaved stdout.
󰄦Multi-worktree
Working on two branches? Each git worktree gets its own devme instance with isolated ports. No conflicts.
󰃡No README maintenance
The setup instructions are the config file. devme.toml is the source of truth — always up to date, never stale.
