A colorful, interactive CLI to kickstart developer environments.

Package Exports

  • devkick
  • devkick/src/devkick.js

This package does not declare an exports field, so the exports above have been automatically detected and optimized by JSPM instead. If any package subpath is missing, it is recommended to post an issue to the original package (devkick) to support the "exports" field. If that is not possible, create a JSPM override to customize the exports field for this package.

Readme

devKick

npm version npm downloads license

devKick is a colorful, interactive CLI that runs quick checks and startup tasks for your Docker, web, and Python projects so you can get to coding faster.

Getting Started

  • Install globally:
npm install -g devkick
  • Run in your project (from the project root):
devkick start

devKick is interactive – it will ask before running commands like git pull, npm install, npm start, docker-compose up, or pip install.

What devKick does

  • Detects your project type

    • Docker projects: based on Dockerfile or docker-compose.yml
    • Web/Node projects: based on package.json
    • Python projects: based on requirements.txt or pyproject.toml
    • If nothing is detected, it lets you choose (Docker / Web / Python).

  • Runs general environment checks

    • Looks for a .env file and loads it if present.
    • Checks for Git and whether you’re inside a repo.
    • Warns about uncommitted changes and can optionally run git pull.

  • Runs project-specific helpers

    • Docker
      • Checks whether Docker is installed.
      • Verifies the Docker daemon is reachable.
      • If docker-compose.yml exists, can run docker-compose up -d.
    • Web (Node)
      • Confirms Node.js is installed.
      • If node_modules is missing, can run npm install.
      • Can start your dev server via npm start.
    • Python
      • Checks for Python (python3 or python).
      • If requirements.txt is present, can run pip install -r requirements.txt.
      • Prints a quick tip for creating a virtual env.

  • Optional editor launch

    • If the code CLI is available, can open the project in VS Code (code .).

Requirements

  • Node.js >= 14
  • A POSIX-style shell or terminal (macOS, Linux, WSL, or similar)
  • For best results, run devkick inside a Git repo at your project root.

Usage examples

  • Node/web app:
cd my-web-app
devkick start
  • Docker project:
cd my-docker-app
devkick start
  • Python project:
cd my-python-app
devkick start

Tips & Notes

  • devKick never runs heavy commands without asking first – you stay in control.
  • It cannot auto-start Docker Desktop; if Docker isn’t running, you’ll be prompted to start it manually.
  • You can safely re-run devkick start as often as you like while you’re working on a project.
