devset

A Swiss-army-knife CLI with the everyday tools every dev needs — plus a one-command bootstrapper that spins up a virtualenv with a curated set of Python packages already installed.

Install

git clone <this repo>
cd devset
pip install -e .

This registers the devset command on your PATH, and also pulls in a small set of core dependencies every dev tends to reach for — requests, python-dotenv, rich — so they're available immediately, both for devset's own commands (like net get) and for you to import in your own scripts once devset is on your PATH/venv.

Want more? Install extras for heavier, more specific toolsets:

pip install -e ".[dev]"    # pytest, black, ruff, mypy, ipython
pip install -e ".[web]"    # fastapi, uvicorn, httpx, pydantic
pip install -e ".[data]"   # numpy, pandas, matplotlib, jupyter, openpyxl
pip install -e ".[all]"    # everything above

The headline feature: devset setup

Get a fully wired-up Python environment in one command:

devset setup init                       # essentials profile -> .venv/
devset setup init --profile web         # fastapi, httpx, pydantic, ...
devset setup init --profile data        # numpy, pandas, matplotlib, jupyter
devset setup init --profile testing     # pytest, mypy, black, ruff
devset setup init -p web -e sqlalchemy  # add extra package(s) on top
devset setup profiles                   # see what's in each profile

This creates a .venv, installs the chosen package set, and writes a requirements.txt you can commit.

Extending it

Each command group lives in its own file under devset/commands/ as a click.Group. To add a new one: create devset/commands/my_tools.py with a @click.group(), then register it in devset/cli.py.
