LocalHelm docs

Introduction

LocalHelm is the control panel for local development. The local fleet is the apps and sites you keep, including tools that never publish. Ports sit on the same board.

LocalSlip is the slip; LocalHelm is the wheel.

You have a folder of repos. git status in one of them answers that repo. The board also shows listening leases and the phone tile grid.

Scan a folder, check which ones to keep, then read git, npm, dependents, and listening leases in one place.

What it is

  • A fleet file (localhelm.fleet.json) you chose. Nothing auto-enrolls from a disk walk.
  • localhelm status for local version, npm latest, git, and pins
  • Writes print a plan; --apply is the confirm. Never --force
  • A dashboard on 4321 (localhelm serve) that calls the same library

It does not claim ports. Start and stop on the board ask LocalSlip. It does not bake in a shop catalog.

Two surfaces

Surface What it is
localhelm.dev This site: what it is and how to use it
npm localhelm The CLI and dashboard, on your machine

The domain never serves your apps or sites.
