Shell Access

The devbox shell command provides interactive shell access to running services. It automatically detects and uses the best available shell in the container, similar to docker compose exec -it.

--8<-- "auto-detect-note.md"

Usage

devbox shell [--name <project-name>] <service-name>
Option Required Description
--name <project-name> no Project name. If not specified, will be detected from Git source

Example

# Access shell in a service
devbox shell service-name

# Access shell in a specific project's service
devbox --name project-name shell service-name

Shell Detection

DevBox tries shells in the following order:

  1. /bin/zsh
  2. /bin/bash
  3. /bin/sh
  4. /bin/ash

The first available shell in the container will be used.
