Namespace Command Line Tools

Namespace has two command line tools. nsc drives the Namespace platform, and devbox drives Devboxes. They are installed separately, and each one authenticates against your workspace on its own.

Get started

Namespace CLI

curl -fsSL https://get.namespace.so/cloud/install.sh | sh
nsc login

# Start an ephemeral instance, then open a shell in it
nsc create
nsc ssh <instance-id>

See Installation for Homebrew, npm, Hermit, and Windows.

Devbox CLI

curl -fsSL get.namespace.so/devbox/install.sh | bash
devbox login

# Create a Devbox, then open a shell in it
devbox create --name my-devbox
devbox ssh my-devbox

See Installation for macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Common tasks

Both tools cover the same shape of work on different resources.
