Free & open source Windows 10 & 11
Where dev junk disappears.
Devpit is a free, open-source CLI for Windows that finds node_modules, caches and Docker leftovers, shows you what's safe, and clears gigabytes in one keystroke.
irm devpit.zubyr.dev/install | iex
or grab the .exe from GitHub Releases then type devpit
See Devpit run
Demo 1: Typing devpit opens the main menu. Full Scan checks projects, package caches, Docker and Scoop, then lists node_modules (1.84 GB), .next (610 MB), npm cache (3.1 GB), Docker build cache (2.4 GB) and old Scoop versions (750 MB), each labeled Safe, Review or Careful. After confirming, Devpit frees 8.7 GB in 42 seconds.
Demo 2: npm run dev fails with EADDRINUSE on port 3000. In Fix Stuck Ports & Apps, typing 3000 shows node.exe holds the port; after confirming, the port is free and the dev server starts.
Demo 3: Update Everything checks Scoop, winget and npm, lists five updates, and installs the four ticked ones.
Demo 4: irm https://devpit.zubyr.dev/install | iex downloads Devpit, verifies its SHA256 checksum and adds it to PATH.

Questions
What is Devpit?
Devpit (also searched as Devpit CLI) is a free, open-source command-line app for Windows. One terminal menu frees disk space from developer junk, fixes stuck ports and updates your tools.
Who made Devpit?
Devpit is built by Zubair bin Shaukat (zubyr), a software engineer from Lahore, Pakistan. The source is on GitHub under the MIT license.
Is it safe to delete node_modules?
Yes. It comes back when you run npm install (or pnpm / yarn). Devpit marks it Safe, shows the size first, and deletes nothing until you confirm.
How do I fix "port 3000 is already in use" on Windows?
Open Devpit, choose Fix Stuck Ports & Apps and type 3000. It shows which app holds the port and stops it after you confirm.
Is Devpit free and safe to install?
Free and open source under the MIT license. Releases are built on GitHub Actions with SHA256 checksums, and the install script is short enough to read in a minute.
Does Devpit collect my data?
Not unless you opt in. Stats are off by default and only send totals. Set DEVPIT_NO_TELEMETRY=1 and nothing is ever sent.
Does it work on Mac or Linux?
Windows 10 and 11 (x64 and ARM64) today. Linux and macOS are planned.
