DevTUI - A Swiss-army app for developers

DevTUI is an all-in-one terminal toolkit designed for developers. It consolidates your everyday utilities into a single, unified TUI (Text User Interface) and CLI (Command Line Interface). No more juggling multiple tools — everything you need is now just one command away.

🚀 Actively developed and continuously improving.
