# Homarr Developer CLI
Build and launch local Homarr images and GHCR pull-request builds, then manage them from responsive terminal dashboards.
## Requirements
- Docker or OrbStack
- Go 1.25+ to build from source
- GitHub CLI authenticated with `gh auth login` for pull-request features
## Setup
```sh
pnpm install
```
Create `.env` from `.env.example` and set `DB_URL` to an absolute path for the SQLite file before running the migration. In a POSIX shell, use `cp .env.example .env`; in PowerShell, use `Copy-Item .env.example .env`.
Then run `pnpm db:migration:sqlite:run` to create or update the database. The migration command also seeds a new database. Use `pnpm db:seed` explicitly when you need to seed an existing database. Start Redis separately with `pnpm docker:dev:up` when it is needed.
The examples below use `pnpm dev:cli -- ...`, which works from POSIX shells and PowerShell. If you prefer a global command, install it with `pnpm dev:cli:install` and add your Go bin directory to `PATH`.
## Build
```sh
pnpm dev:cli -- build feature
pnpm dev:cli -- build --pr 6441
pnpm dev:cli -- rebuild feature
```
Checkout builds are tagged as `homarr:<name>`. The source checkout and revision are recorded on the image so `homarr rebuild` and the development dashboard can rebuild it later. PR builds use a temporary checkout and default to `homarr:pr-<number>`.
## Launch
```sh
pnpm dev:cli -- run dev
pnpm dev:cli -- run --detach dev
pnpm dev:cli -- run --pr 6441
pnpm dev:cli -- run --pr 6441 --demo
pnpm dev:cli -- run --env FOO=bar --env FEATURE=true dev
```
PR launches always pull the latest GHCR tag before starting. Local tags remain local.
The first launch generates a per-user encryption key in the OS config directory and reuses it for later launches. Set `HOMARR_DEV_SECRET_ENCRYPTION_KEY` to a 64-character hexadecimal key to override it.
The command reference below assumes the optional `homarr` installation. Without it, prefix each command with `pnpm dev:cli --` (for example, `pnpm dev:cli -- dev`).
## Commands
```text

## Development Browser
```text
/ Filter by PR number, title, author, branch, CI, image, state, or port
↑/↓ or j/k Select
Enter or Space Pull latest image and start, or stop when already running
R Build a remote PR locally or rebuild a local image
p Pull a remote PR image and redeploy, preserving port and volume
m Toggle demo mode for the next launch
o Open PR on GitHub
a Open running app
l Toggle inline logs for the selected running PR
f Follow or pause inline logs
Page Up/Down Scroll inline logs
b Show or hide bot PRs
r Refresh
q Quit; during a pull, cancel it
```
Pull progress, layer completion, local build provenance, selected PR details, CI state, image availability, inline logs, and the final port remain inside the TUI.
