Devbox is a command-line tool that lets you easily create isolated shells for development. You start by defining the list of packages required by your development environment, and devbox uses that definition to create an isolated environment just for your application.
In practice, Devbox works similar to a package manager like yarn – except the packages it manages are at the operating-system level (the sort of thing you would normally install with brew or apt-get). With Devbox, you can install over 400,000 package versions from the Nix Package Registry
Devbox was originally developed by Jetify and is internally powered by nix.
