Tool Open source
Devbox is a command-line tool for creating isolated, reproducible development shells. A project's `devbox.json` declares its required operating-system-level packages; Devbox uses Nix to make those tools available through commands such as `devbox shell` and `devbox run`, without installing them into the underlying machine or causing version conflicts between projects. The same environment definition can also be used for a devcontainer, Dockerfile, or remote development environment. Devbox was originally developed by Jetify.

Devbox provides isolated development environments for projects. A project’s devbox.json specifies its required tools, which become available when running devbox shell, avoiding conflicts between tool versions across projects.
