Devin for Terminal vs. Devin

Devin for Terminal and Devin are separate tools designed for different workflows. Devin for Terminal is a local coding agent that runs directly in your terminal. It works with your local files and environment, giving you fast, interactive assistance right where you code. Devin is our cloud-based AI software engineer that runs in a virtual machine. It includes features like Playbooks, Secrets, Knowledge, and other capabilities that are not available in Devin for Terminal.
Features from your Devin account (such as Knowledge, Playbooks, and Secrets) do not carry over to Devin for Terminal. Think of them as separate tools with their own configurations.
