What DevTent is

DevTent keeps your whole local environment in one folder (for example c:\devtent or /Users/you/devtent):

Path	Purpose
www/	Drop projects here → myapp.localhost
bin/	PHP, Nginx, MySQL, and other runtimes
etc/	Generated configs (nginx, SSL, …)
data/	Database data + automatic backups
profiles/	Named stacks (PHP version, web server, DB)
logs/	Service and site logs

Day-to-day you mostly use the system tray quick panel. Open the full dashboard when you need Projects, Doctor, Settings, or deeper tooling.

Platforms

Windows, macOS (Apple Silicon & Intel), and Linux (x64 & arm64). Download installers from Releases.
