About

Get Under the Hood of Your Apple Silicon Dev cockpit was made for developers who want to see what's happening real-time.

Dev Cockpit

Dev Cockpit is a Go-powered terminal UI that turns any Apple Silicon Mac into a development and operations command center. The project is now fully open source and sustained by community donations.

Prerequisites

  • macOS 11.0+ running on Apple Silicon (M1/M2/M3)
  • Go 1.25 or newer (brew install go)
  • Xcode Command Line Tools (xcode-select --install)

Installation

Quick Install (Recommended)

bash
curl -sSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/caioricciuti/dev-cockpit/main/install.sh | bash

This will:

  • Download the latest release
  • Verify the binary
  • Install to /usr/local/bin/devcockpit
  • Create configuration directory

Manual Installation

bash
# Download latest release
curl -L -o devcockpit https://github.com/caioricciuti/dev-cockpit/releases/latest/download/devcockpit-darwin-arm64

# Make executable and install
chmod +x devcockpit
sudo mv devcockpit /usr/local/bin/

# Create config directory
mkdir -p ~/.devcockpit

Usage

bash
devcockpit              # Launch the TUI
devcockpit --help       # Show help
devcockpit --version    # Show version
devcockpit --debug      # Launch with debug logging

CLI Commands

Dev Cockpit also supports direct CLI commands for quick operations:

bash
devcockpit cleanup empty-trash    # Empty trash without TUI
devcockpit uninstall              # Uninstall Dev Cockpit
devcockpit uninstall --force      # Uninstall without prompts

Keyboard Shortcuts

Global Navigation:

  • Tab / Shift+Tab - Switch between modules
  • Enter - Focus on selected module
  • Esc - Exit focused module / Go back
  • Q - Quit application (from module switcher)
  • ? - Show help

Module-Specific:

  • ↑/↓ or k/j - Navigate lists
  • Space - Toggle selection (Cleanup module)
  • R - Refresh/Reload data
  • L - List packages (Packages module)
  • C - Cleanup cache (Packages module)
  • U - Update manager (Packages module)
  • F - Fix all issues (Quick Actions module)

Build from Source

bash
# Clone and enter the repo
git clone https://github.com/caioricciuti/dev-cockpit.git
cd dev-cockpit/app

# Fetch dependencies
make deps

# Build an optimized arm64 binary
make build

# Run the TUI straight from source (handy during development)
make run

# Optional: install system-wide (prompts for sudo)
make install

The compiled binary lives at app/build/devcockpit. Launch it directly or run devcockpit after installation.

Testing & Tooling

bash
make test       # unit tests with coverage output
make test-race  # race detector
make fmt        # gofmt across the module
make lint       # requires golangci-lint in PATH

Troubleshooting

npm/Node not detected

If you're using NVM (Node Version Manager) and npm shows as "unknown":

  1. Make sure you have a default Node version set:

    bash
    nvm alias default node

  2. Restart Dev Cockpit - it will automatically detect NVM installations

  3. If still not detected, check your NVM installation:

    bash
    ls ~/.nvm/versions/node/

Sudo/Permission issues

Some operations (like system maintenance) require sudo access:

  1. Make sure your user has sudo privileges
  2. If prompted, enter your password when requested
  3. Press Ctrl+C to cancel any sudo prompt if needed

Terminal compatibility

Dev Cockpit works best with modern terminals:

  • Recommended: iTerm2, Warp, Terminal.app (macOS 11+)
  • Minimum: 80x24 terminal size
  • Colors: 256-color support recommended

If you experience rendering issues:

bash
devcockpit --debug  # Check debug.log for errors

Docker not connecting

If Docker shows as unavailable:

  1. Make sure Docker Desktop is running

  2. Check Docker socket exists:

    bash
    ls -la /var/run/docker.sock

  3. Verify Docker CLI works:

    bash
    docker ps
