like yes it's long, breathe. we'll go through every single flag together, i promise. 🧚

👑 DESCRIPTION 👑

Get the status of a process. 💖 genuinely iconic, no notes.

🎀 OPTIONS 🎀

  • --user-config <USER_CONFIG> — use this user configuration file instead of the XDG default. main character config energy. ✨
  • <NAME> — name of the process. that's the whole arg, that's the girl. 💅

🌈 INPUT OVERRIDES 🌈

  • --from <FROM> — source for devenv.nix.

can be either a filesystem path (with the path: prefix) or a flake input reference. ngl this is lowkey the most useful one.

Examples:

--from github:cachix/devenv
--from github:cachix/devenv?dir=examples/simple
--from path:/absolute/path/to/project
--from path:./relative/path
  • -o, --override-input <NAME> <URI> — override inputs in devenv.yaml. obsessed, honestly.

Examples:

--override-input nixpkgs github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable
--override-input nixpkgs path:/path/to/local/nixpkgs
  • -O, --option <OPTION:TYPE> <VALUE> — override configuration options with typed values. yes bestie, you gotta declare the type, it's not optional.

OPTION must include a type: <attribute>:<type>. Supported types: string, int, float, bool, path, pkg, pkgs.

List types (pkgs) append to existing values by default. add a ! suffix to replace instead: pkgs!. 🫶

Examples:

--option languages.rust.channel:string beta
--option services.postgres.enable:bool true
--option languages.python.version:string 3.10
--option packages:pkgs "ncdu git"       (appends to packages)
--option packages:pkgs! "ncdu git"      (replaces all packages)

see how that ! changes everything? that's the drama we came for. 💀

🔥 NIX OPTIONS 🔥

  • -j, --max-jobs <MAX_JOBS> — maximum number of Nix builds to run concurrently.

defaults to 1/4 of available CPU cores (minimum 1). not too much, not too little. 💅

  • -u, --cores <CORES> — number of CPU cores available to each build.

defaults to available cores divided by max-jobs (minimum 1). math girlies rise. ✨

  • -s, --system <SYSTEM> — override the target system.

defaults to the host system (e.g. aarch64-darwin, x86_64-linux).

  • -i, --impure — relax the hermeticity of the environment. living dangerously, love that for you. 🙈
  • --no-impure — force a hermetic environment, overriding config. the responsible friend. 🎀
  • --offline — disable substituters and consider all previously downloaded files up-to-date. airplane mode but make it nix. ✈️
  • --nix-option <NAME> <VALUE> — pass additional options to nix commands.

these options are passed directly to Nix using the --option flag. see man nix.conf for the full list of available options.

Examples:

--nix-option sandbox false
--nix-option keep-outputs true
--nix-option system x86_64-darwin
  • --nix-debugger — enter the Nix debugger on failure. when things go wrong, go deep. 🦋

🐚 SHELL OPTIONS 🐚

  • -c, --clean [<CLEAN>...] — ignore existing environment variables when entering the shell. pass a list of comma-separated environment variables to let through. a clean slate but make it selective. 💖
  • -P, --profile <PROFILES> — activate one or more profiles defined in devenv.nix.

profiles let you define different configurations that can be merged with your base configuration.

see https://devenv.sh/profiles for more information.

Examples:

--profile python-3.14
--profile backend --profile fast-startup
  • --reload — enable auto-reload when config files change (default). it just knows. ✨
  • --no-reload — disable auto-reload when config files change. okay miss independent. 💅
  • --shell <SHELL_TYPE> — shell to use for interactive sessions (bash, zsh, fish, nu).

Possible values:

  • bash
  • zsh
  • fish
  • nu

⭐ CACHE OPTIONS ⭐

  • --eval-cache — enable caching of Nix evaluation results (default). speed. 🏎️
  • --no-eval-cache — disable caching of Nix evaluation results. chaos, but consensual. 💀
  • --refresh-eval-cache — force a refresh of the Nix evaluation cache. out with the old. 🔥
  • --refresh-task-cache — force a refresh of the task cache. same energy, different cache. 🎀

🧚 SECRETSPEC OPTIONS 🧚

  • --secretspec-provider <SECRETSPEC_PROVIDER> — override the secretspec provider. secrets stay secret, bestie. 🤫
  • --secretspec-profile <SECRETSPEC_PROFILE> — override the secretspec profile. 🦋

🌸 TRACING OPTIONS 🌸

  • --trace-to <TRACE_TO> — enable tracing and set output destination(s). can be repeated for multiple outputs. yes you can stack them, icon behaviour. 👑

Syntax: [format:]destination

Examples:

--trace-to stderr                              # json to stderr
--trace-to pretty:stderr                       # pretty format to stderr
--trace-to json:file:/tmp/trace.json           # JSON to file
--trace-to otlp-grpc                           # OTLP gRPC to default endpoint
--trace-to otlp-grpc:http://collector:4317     # OTLP gRPC to custom endpoint

Multiple outputs:

--trace-to pretty:stderr --trace-to json:file:/tmp/t.json

Destinations: stdout, stderr, file:<path>, http(s)://<host>:<port>. Formats: json (default), pretty, full, otlp-grpc, otlp-http-protobuf, otlp-http-json.

when format is omitted, defaults to json. tracing is disabled by default.

[env: DEVENV_TRACE_TO=] (comma-separated) [env: DEVENV_TRACE_DEFAULT_TO=] (comma-separated, used only when no explicit tracing is configured; set to empty string to suppress)

okay the env var part matters: DEVENV_TRACE_DEFAULT_TO only kicks in when there's no explicit tracing configured, and you set it to an empty string to suppress it. don't forget that. 🫶

💜 GLOBAL OPTIONS 💜

  • -v, --verbose — enable additional debug logs. give me everything. 🔍
  • -q, --quiet — silence all logs. shhh. 🤫
  • --tui <TUI> — enable the interactive terminal interface (default when interactive).

Possible values:

  • true
  • false
  • --no-tui — disable the interactive terminal interface. no little boxes for you. 🙈
  • -h, --help — print help (see a summary with -h). the classic. 💖
fr fr, that's every flag, every default, every example — nothing skipped, nothing invented. vibe check passed. ✅
