About DevMagic

What is DevMagic?

DevMagic is a portable development environment system built on VS Code Dev Containers. It eliminates the need to install development tools on your host machine, providing consistent, reproducible environments across any operating system.

Whether you're setting up a fresh OS, onboarding new team members, or just want a clean separation between projects, DevMagic gives you a fully-featured development workspace in minutes.

Project Goals

🎯 Zero Friction

Get from "fresh OS" to "coding" in the shortest time possible, with minimal manual configuration.

🔄 Consistency

Same environment on every machine. No more "works on my machine" problems.

📦 Modularity

Start minimal, add services as needed. Don't pay for what you don't use.

🔓 Transparency

Open source, well-documented, and easy to understand. No magic, no vendor lock-in.
