What is the VibeKit CLI?

The VibeKit CLI (vibekit) is a powerful command-line tool that enables developers to:
  • 🚀 Create and manage sandbox environments for isolated development
  • 🤖 Generate code using AI agents (Claude, GPT-4, Gemini, and more)
  • 💻 Execute commands in sandboxed environments
  • 🔀 Create pull requests directly from your environments
  • 🔧 Configure providers (E2B, Dagger, Daytona, Northflank)

​
Architecture

The VibeKit CLI acts as a unified interface to:
  1. Sandbox Providers - Manage isolated development environments
  2. AI Agents - Generate and modify code using various AI models
  3. Version Control - Integrate with GitHub for seamless workflows
  4. Local Development - Execute commands and interact with your code

​
Quick Example

Here’s a typical workflow with the VibeKit CLI: 
# 1. Initialize VibeKit with your preferred providers
vibekit init

# 2. Create a new environment with Claude
vibekit local create --name my-project --agent claude

# 3. Generate code using AI
vibekit local generate -e my-project -p "Create a REST API with authentication"

# 4. Execute commands in the environment
vibekit local exec -e my-project -c "npm install && npm test"

# 5. Create a pull request
vibekit local pr -e my-project --title "Add authentication API"

​
CLI Structure

The VibeKit CLI is organized into two main commands:
  1. vibekit init - Set up providers and configure your environment
  2. vibekit local - Manage local sandbox environments with subcommands for:
    • Creating and deleting environments
    • Executing commands
    • Generating code with AI
    • Creating pull requests
    • And more…
