Repository navigation
v1.22.0
Added
-
Ten new adapters bring the total to thirty-five. pixi joins the regular set (on by
default): a.pixi/directory besidepixi.toml,pixi.lockor apyproject.toml
with a[tool.pixi]table is verified againstpixi.lockread-only, because
pixi lock --checkcan re-solve over the network and a verification must never do
that. The other nine are opt-in like every build tree: Zig (.zig-cache/,
zig-cache/andzig-out/beside abuild.zig), Haskell Stack (.stack-work/),
Haskell Cabal (dist-newstyle/; a lone.cabalfile is never claimed), sbt
(target/andproject/target/besidebuild.sbt), and the imported-resource
caches of Godot, Unity, Unreal, Defold and Cocos Creator.devp config set enable_zig trueand friends switch them on, and every one is in the recommended
set the config wizard offers. That makes thirty-five adapters, eighteen opt-in
switches and forty-one settings; the whole opt-in class is walked through in
docs/OPT_IN_BUILD_ADAPTERS.md. -
devp caches clear docker --include-volumes(podman too): after the narrow
reclaim, it lists the engine's unused volumes by name and takes one line of picks
(numbers, ranges,all, or Enter for none), then runs one unforcedvolume rm <name>per pick. It is consent-gated end to end: it refuses--yes,--jsonand a
piped stdin, and the pick list only arms within ten minutes of a completed volume
dry run for that engine. Typed cold, the command becomes that dry run, and
--include-volumes --dry-runends by naming the command to type next. dev-prune
still never runsvolume pruneorsystem prune --volumesanywhere, and the unit
tests fail the build if any argv it assembles containsprune,--volumesor a
force flag. nerdctl, finch and Apple'scontainerget a usage error naming
<engine> volume lsinstead, because their volume listings cannot be sized safely. -
A "Detected, but switched off" section at the end of a bulk dry run. When a
dormant opt-in adapter would find bloat,devp run --dry-runnow says so: how many
repositories, and the exactdevp config set enable_<name> truethat would include
them. The--jsondocument carries the same facts under an additive
recommendationskey, anddevp config set recommendations falsesilences the
section once you have read it. -
devp skill --detectedand an editor detection report. Plaindevp skillnow
ends by naming every editor and agent whose traces are on the machine or committed
in the repository (home-directory footprints, VS Code-family extensions, rules
files), and whether each one's rules are current, stale or missing.devp skill --detectedthen writes the right rules file for everything detected in one pass.
Detection is pure existence checks; nothing is executed or fetched. -
Exported rules files now carry three guardrails for the agents that read them: never
delete a bloat directory by hand (usedevp run, anddevp restoreto put back
anything devp removed), never clear container volumes through a bulk engine prune,
and never empty~/.m2/repositoryuninvited.
docs/IDE_INTEGRATION.md adds a copy-paste PreToolUse hook
that turns the volume rule into a hard confirmation prompt in Claude Code.
Changed
-
The windowless Windows twin (
devpw.exe) can no longer fall behind silently. The
release publishes it as its own asset with a SHA-256 sidecar;devp update --installreconciles every twin alongside the main binary;devp doctorcompares
each twin's build stamp against the running version, namesdevp update --install
as the fix, and exits 1 when the scheduled task is actually running a stale twin
(a warning otherwise);devp doctor --fixperforms the reconcile itself. The setup
pass also self-heals once per version at an attended terminal. All of it stands
down underDEV_PRUNE_OFFLINE,version_lock, and in development builds. -
A worktree nested inside its own repository (the shape agent harnesses create under
.claude/worktrees/) is no longer self-registered by the quiet Git hook or by
status adoption. An explicitdevp linkstill registers one when you mean it. -
The no-longer-a-repository report now names both ways out in place (
devp unlink <path>to drop the row,git initif the directory should be one again), and the
nested-repository refusal explains why it exists (no lockfile of yours can vouch
for someone else's git history) and points at the cache-relocation config for the
common cause.
Fixed
-
devp restorein a Go repository rebuilds the recordedvendor/directory again.
It used to consult the directory the prune had already deleted to decide between
go mod vendorandgo mod download, so a pruned vendor tree came back as a
module-cache download instead of thevendor/the build was using. -
devp trust --fix-ownership -yis honoured with the flag on either side of
--fix-ownership. Previously one order asked anyway, which is what a script cannot
answer. -
DEV_PRUNE_NO_TUI=1is honoured at every full-screen entry point, including the
ones reached from inside another command, so agents driving a terminal never get a
dashboard they cannot read. -
The scheduled task's windowless twin, and a stray managed-binary alias, could be
left running a stale release. Both are refreshed by comparing the new copy against
the one already in place, and that comparison trusted two files with the same size
and the same modified-time to also hold the same bytes, which is not guaranteed and
occasionally false. A refresh that hit the coincidence quietly kept the old binary
in place instead of replacing it. The comparison now always reads both files once
their lengths match.
For contributors
-
crates.io publishing now uses Trusted Publishing: the release workflow exchanges a
GitHub OIDC token for a 30-minute crates.io token at publish time, so the
long-livedCARGO_REGISTRY_TOKENsecret is no longer read by the workflow. -
Test fixtures create their repositories through
git_in(an explicit-Con every
invocation), so a test run started from inside a Git hook can never act on the
repository that hosts the checkout.
Which download do I want?
Most people want none of them. The installers below verify the SHA-256
sidecar, put the binary somewhere already on PATH, and create the devp
alias — three things unzipping an archive does not do.

| Python tooling | uv tool install dev-prune==1.22.0 / pipx install dev-prune==1.22.0 |
| Rust, no compile | cargo binstall dev-prune@1.22.0 |
| Rust, from source | cargo install dev-prune --version 1.22.0 (needs Rust 1.88+) |
The PyPI packages contain these same binaries rather than downloading one
afterwards, so they work behind a registry mirror and offline. cargo install
is the only channel that compiles on your machine; cargo binstall reaches
for the archives on this page instead.

The assets, then
Take one only if you are packaging dev-prune yourself, air-gapping it, or
pinning it into a container image.

Both Linux builds are statically linked against musl, so they run on any
distribution including Alpine, with no glibc floor.
32-bit is published for Windows only. There is no 32-bit Linux, no 32-bit
macOS and no 32-bit ARM build on any platform; the install scripts refuse
rather than guess when they meet one.
There is no .vsix on this page. The VS Code extension has its own
version and its own release cadence, so it ships from its own tags:
the extension's releases.
Install it by name instead — VKrishna04.dev-prune, on the
VS Code Marketplace
and on Open VSX.
Windows: the binaries are not code-signed, and two separate features react
to that.
Windows protected your PC is SmartScreen, and it only challenges files
carrying a Mark of the Web — which your browser attaches to the download and
File Explorer copies onto everything it extracts. Clear the mark on the archive
before extracting and nothing inside it is ever marked:
Unblock-File .\dev-prune-v1.22.0-windows-x64.zipThe installers above already do this for you, on the archive and on both
installed copies.
A refusal with no dialog and no "run anyway" is something else: Smart App
Control, which blocks unsigned executables outright and never looks at the mark.
It is on by default on clean installs of Windows 11 22H2+ and always off on
upgraded ones, which is why the same release runs on one machine and not the
next. Unblock-File does not help, and neither does building from source.
The troubleshooting guide
covers what your options actually are.
Every archive ships a .sha256 sidecar. Check it before you trust it:
sha256sum -c dev-prune-v1.22.0-linux-x64.tar.gz.sha256(Get-FileHash dev-prune-v1.22.0-windows-x64.zip).Hash -eq (Get-Content dev-prune-v1.22.0-windows-x64.zip.sha256).Split(' ')[0].ToUpper()An archive's hash stops meaning anything the moment you unpack it, and the
unpacked files are the only ones your antivirus ever looks at. So each Windows
zip also ships a .zip.contents.sha256 listing the digest of every file inside
it — run this in the folder you extracted to, from Git Bash (sha256sum ships
with Git for Windows, and is what reads this format):
sha256sum -c dev-prune-v1.22.0-windows-x64.zip.contents.sha256dev-prune.exe and devp.exe are one file under two names and share a digest
on purpose, so a scanner builds one reputation record instead of two.
devpw.exe — the console-free build the scheduled task runs — is compiled
separately and legitimately has a different one. devp trust prints the same
three digests for the copies already installed on your machine, so you can
compare them against this file without downloading anything again.
That sidecar proves the file was not altered in transit. It does not prove
where it came from — the same hand that swaps an archive swaps its sidecar.
Every archive on this page is also signed by GitHub's build provenance, which
binds it to this repository, this workflow and the commit it was built from:
