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.
Devin for Terminal does not yet support Knowledge, Playbooks, or Secrets from your Devin account. We’re actively working on adding support for each of these and plan to roll them out soon.
