Template library

Copy-paste blueprints for common languages and use cases. Each template is self-contained. Combine them to build your full configuration. For a full breakdown of every field, see the Blueprint reference.

Secrets: Templates reference secrets via $SECRET_NAME. Configure these in Settings > Secrets before using a template. Never hardcode credentials in your blueprint.

Quick start

    run: (cd packages/frontend && pnpm install)
  - name: Install backend dependencies
    run: (cd packages/backend && uv sync)
  - name: Build shared library
    run: (cd packages/shared && pnpm install && pnpm build)

knowledge:
  - name: structure
    contents: |
      This is a monorepo with three packages:
      - `packages/frontend` — React app (TypeScript, pnpm)
      - `packages/backend` — Python API (FastAPI, uv)
      - `packages/shared` — Shared TypeScript utilities (must be built before frontend)
  - name: frontend
    contents: |
      Run `cd packages/frontend && pnpm dev` to start the dev server.
      Run `cd packages/frontend && pnpm lint` to lint.
      Run `cd packages/frontend && pnpm test` to test.
  - name: backend
    contents: |
      Run `cd packages/backend && uv run uvicorn app.main:app --reload` to start the API.
      Run `cd packages/backend && uv run ruff check .` to lint.
      Run `cd packages/backend && uv run pytest` to test.

Use subshells (cd dir && command) instead of cd dir && command so the working directory resets between steps.

        JAVA_HOME=/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64 \
        (cd services/legacy && ./gradlew test)

Private package registries

Configure package managers to resolve dependencies from private registries. Set these in Settings > Environment configuration > Org-wide setup (or per-repo if only one repo needs it).

Credential configuration belongs in maintenance, not initialize. Steps that write secrets (registry passwords, auth tokens) into config files should use maintenance so credentials are freshly loaded each session. Secrets are removed before the snapshot is saved, so config files written during initialize won’t have valid credentials when sessions start.

If your private registry uses a corporate CA, make sure the CA certificate is installed at the enterprise level first. The configuration below assumes HTTPS trust is already established.

Rust / Cargo

Configure Cargo to resolve crates from a private registry.

Rust (via rustup) and Cargo are pre-installed on Devin’s base image. Skip the install step if the default stable toolchain is sufficient. You only need the registry configuration.

Required secrets

CARGO_REGISTRY_INDEX — URL of the private registry index (e.g., sparse+https://cargo.corp.internal/api/v1/crates/)
CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN — Auth token for the private registry

initialize:
  - name: Install Rust
    run: |
      curl --proto '=https' --tlsv1.2 -sSf https://sh.rustup.rs \
        | sh -s -- -y --default-toolchain stable
      echo 'source "$HOME/.cargo/env"' \
        | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/rust.sh > /dev/null

maintenance:
  - name: Configure Cargo for private registry
    run: |
      mkdir -p ~/.cargo
      cat > ~/.cargo/config.toml << EOF

      index = "$CARGO_REGISTRY_INDEX"
      token = "$CARGO_REGISTRY_TOKEN"

      [source.crates-io]
      replace-with = "private"

      [source.private]
      registry = "$CARGO_REGISTRY_INDEX"
      EOF

If you only need to add a private registry without replacing crates.io, remove the [source.crates-io] and [source.private] sections and use cargo install --registry private or [dependencies] my-crate = { version = "1.0", registry = "private" } in Cargo.toml.

Identity and security

GPG commit signing

Your organization requires all Git commits to be signed, and you want GitHub to mark Devin’s commits as Verified.

Required secrets

GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 — Base64-encoded GPG private key. Generate with: gpg --export-secret-keys <key-id> | base64 -w0
GIT_USER_NAME — Git author name (e.g., Devin AI)
GIT_USER_EMAIL — Git author email. Must match a UID on the GPG key, otherwise GitHub will not verify the signature.

Also upload the matching public key to the GitHub account whose credentials Devin uses to push (under GitHub Settings > SSH and GPG keys). GitHub only marks commits as Verified when the signing public key is registered on the account that authored the commit.

initialize:
  - name: Prepare GPG and git signing config
    run: |
      # Allow GPG to work without a TTY
      echo 'export GPG_TTY=$(tty)' | sudo tee -a /etc/profile.d/gpg.sh > /dev/null

maintenance:
  - name: Import GPG key and configure git signing
    run: |
      echo "$GPG_PRIVATE_KEY_B64" | base64 -d | gpg --batch --import 2>/dev/null

      KEY_ID=$(gpg --list-secret-keys --keyid-format long 2>/dev/null \
        | grep sec | head -1 | awk '{print $2}' | cut -d'/' -f2)

      git config --global user.signingkey "$KEY_ID"
      git config --global commit.gpgsign true
      git config --global tag.gpgsign true
      git config --global gpg.program gpg

Git identity and SSH keys

Configure Devin’s Git identity and SSH keys for accessing private Git servers.

Required secrets

GIT_USER_NAME — Git author name
GIT_USER_EMAIL — Git author email
SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_B64 — Base64-encoded SSH private key. Generate with: cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519 | base64 -w0
SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS_B64 — Base64-encoded known hosts entries. Generate with: ssh-keyscan git.corp.internal | base64 -w0
SSH_CONFIG_B64 (optional) — Base64-encoded SSH config file

initialize:
  - name: Configure git identity
    run: |
      git config --global user.name "$GIT_USER_NAME"
      git config --global user.email "$GIT_USER_EMAIL"

      # Prepare SSH directory
      mkdir -p ~/.ssh && chmod 700 ~/.ssh

maintenance:
  - name: Install SSH keys
    run: |
      # Install SSH private key (in maintenance so it's freshly loaded each session)
      echo "$SSH_PRIVATE_KEY_B64" | base64 -d > ~/.ssh/id_ed25519
      chmod 600 ~/.ssh/id_ed25519

      # Add known hosts for your Git server
      echo "$SSH_KNOWN_HOSTS_B64" | base64 -d >> ~/.ssh/known_hosts

      # Optionally install a custom SSH config
      if [ -n "${SSH_CONFIG_B64:-}" ]; then
        echo "$SSH_CONFIG_B64" | base64 -d > ~/.ssh/config
        chmod 600 ~/.ssh/config
      fi

Generate the known hosts entry for your Git server with ssh-keyscan git.corp.internal | base64 -w0.

System configuration

System packages

Install system-level packages that aren’t in the default Devin image (e.g., native libraries for image processing or PDF generation).

initialize:
  - name: Install system packages
    run: |
      sudo apt-get update -qq
      sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y -qq \
        libpq-dev \
        libmagickwand-dev \
        poppler-utils \
        ffmpeg

Custom environment variables

Set persistent environment variables that should be available in every session.The recommended approach is to write KEY=VALUE lines to the $ENVRC file. Variables written to $ENVRC are automatically exported for all subsequent steps and the Devin session (similar to GitHub Actions’ $GITHUB_ENV).

initialize:
  - name: Set custom environment variables
    run: |
      echo "CORPORATE_ENV=production" >> $ENVRC
      echo "DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1" >> $ENVRC
      echo "MAX_RETRIES=3" >> $ENVRC

You can also write env vars to /etc/profile.d/ scripts for system-wide availability:

cat << 'ENVVARS' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/custom-env.sh > /dev/null
export CORPORATE_ENV=production
export DEFAULT_REGION=us-east-1
ENVVARS

Both approaches work. $ENVRC is simpler and recommended for most cases.

Locale and timezone

Default base images may have broken locale settings. Configure locale and timezone to prevent warnings from build tools, Java, Python, and Git.

initialize:
  - name: Configure locale and timezone
    run: |
      sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get update -qq
      sudo DEBIAN_FRONTEND=noninteractive apt-get install -y -qq locales

      # Generate and set the locale
      sudo sed -i 's/^# *en_US.UTF-8/en_US.UTF-8/' /etc/locale.gen
      sudo locale-gen
      sudo update-locale LANG=en_US.UTF-8 LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8

      cat << 'LOCALE' | sudo tee /etc/profile.d/locale.sh > /dev/null
      export LANG="en_US.UTF-8"
      export LC_ALL="en_US.UTF-8"
      LOCALE

      # Set timezone
      sudo timedatectl set-timezone UTC 2>/dev/null || \
        sudo ln -sfn /usr/share/zoneinfo/UTC /etc/localtime

Resource limits (ulimits)

Java, Gradle, and Node.js builds frequently hit the default 1024 open-file limit. Raise it to prevent build failures.

initialize:
  - name: Raise resource limits
    run: |
      cat << 'LIMITS' | sudo tee /etc/security/limits.d/99-devin.conf > /dev/null
      *    soft    nofile    65536
      *    hard    nofile    65536
      *    soft    nproc     65536
      *    hard    nproc     65536
      LIMITS

      # Also set the kernel max
      echo "fs.file-max = 65536" | sudo tee /etc/sysctl.d/99-devin-filemax.conf > /dev/null
      sudo sysctl -p /etc/sysctl.d/99-devin-filemax.conf 2>/dev/null || true

APT mirror replacement

In air-gapped or restricted environments, replace the default Ubuntu APT sources with an internal mirror.

Required secrets

APT_MIRROR_URL — URL of your internal APT mirror (e.g., https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/ubuntu-remote)

initialize:
  - name: Replace APT sources with internal mirror
    run: |
      # Backup original sources
      sudo cp /etc/apt/sources.list /etc/apt/sources.list.bak

      # Replace all Ubuntu mirrors with your internal mirror
      sudo sed -i "s|http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu|$APT_MIRROR_URL|g" /etc/apt/sources.list
      sudo sed -i "s|http://security.ubuntu.com/ubuntu|$APT_MIRROR_URL|g" /etc/apt/sources.list

      sudo apt-get update -qq

Common APT mirror URL patterns:

Artifactory: https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/ubuntu-remote
Nexus: https://nexus.example.com/repository/ubuntu-proxy

Advanced patterns

Environment variables with direnv

Devin’s base environment includes direnv. Use initialize to create .envrc files. Direnv loads them automatically.

initialize: |
  cat <<'EOF' > .envrc
  export DATABASE_URL=postgresql://localhost:5432/myapp_dev
  export REDIS_URL=redis://localhost:6379
  export APP_ENV=development
  EOF

maintenance: |
  direnv allow .

direnv is pre-hooked into Devin’s shell, so .envrc variables load automatically. No manual sourcing needed.

For sensitive environment variables (API keys, tokens, database passwords), use repo secrets instead of .envrc files. Repo secrets are stored securely and injected at session time. They never appear in your blueprint or snapshot.

Per-repository Node version switching

Use nvm (pre-installed) to switch Node.js versions per repository via .nvmrc.

initialize: |
  nvm install 18
  nvm install 20
  nvm install 22

maintenance: |
  nvm use

nvm use reads .nvmrc from the repo root. Make sure your repository has one (e.g., containing 20).

Browser authentication (Playwright)

Devin provides a Chrome browser with a CDP endpoint at localhost:29229 during sessions. Use Playwright scripts to automate browser-based login.

The browser is only available during sessions, not snapshot builds. Install Playwright in initialize and keep login scripts in your repo.

initialize: |
  pip install playwright
  playwright install chromium

maintenance: |
  npm install

knowledge:
  - name: browser-auth
    contents: |
      This project requires browser authentication.
      Run the login script before interacting with the app:
      python scripts/login.py

      Devin's Chrome browser is accessible via CDP at:
      http://localhost:29229

Example login script (scripts/login.py):

from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
import os

with sync_playwright() as p:
    browser = p.chromium.connect_over_cdp("http://localhost:29229")
    context = browser.contexts[0]
    page = context.pages[0] if context.pages else context.new_page()

    page.goto("https://internal-tool.example.com/login")
    page.fill("#username", os.environ["TOOL_USERNAME"])
    page.fill("#password", os.environ["TOOL_PASSWORD"])
    page.click('button[type="submit"]')
    page.wait_for_url("**/dashboard")

Store login credentials as secrets, not in source code. For long-lived authentication, commit login scripts to .agents/skills/ so Devin can re-authenticate automatically.

Custom system tools and PATH

Install system packages, custom binaries, and configure PATH in initialize.

initialize:
  - name: Install system packages
    run: |
      apt-get update
      apt-get install -y \
        jq \
        ripgrep \
        fd-find \
        protobuf-compiler \
        libssl-dev

  - name: Install custom CLI tool
    run: |
      curl -L https://github.com/example/tool/releases/download/v1.0/tool-linux-amd64 \
        -o /usr/local/bin/mytool
      chmod +x /usr/local/bin/mytool

  - name: Add custom bin directory to PATH
    run: |
      mkdir -p ~/bin
      echo 'export PATH="$HOME/bin:$PATH"' >> ~/.bashrc

knowledge:
  - name: tools
    contents: |
      Custom tools available:
      - mytool: installed at /usr/local/bin/mytool
      - Additional binaries can be placed in ~/bin

GitHub Actions for tool setup

Devin supports running Node.js-based GitHub Actions directly in blueprints. This is useful for installing specific tool versions via the same actions your CI uses.

initialize:
  - name: "Install Node.js 20"
    uses: github.com/actions/setup-node@v4
    with:
      node-version: "20"

  - name: "Install Python 3.12"
    uses: github.com/actions/setup-python@v5
    with:
      python-version: "3.12"

  - name: "Install Go 1.22"
    uses: github.com/actions/setup-go@v5
    with:
      go-version: "1.22"

  - name: "Install Java 21"
    uses: github.com/actions/setup-java@v4
    with:
      java-version: "21"
      distribution: "temurin"

  - name: "Install Gradle"
    uses: github.com/gradle/actions/setup-gradle@v4

  - name: "Install Ruby 3.3"
    uses: github.com/ruby/setup-ruby@v1
    with:
      ruby-version: "3.3"

  - name: "Install additional tools"
    run: |
      pip install uv
      npm install -g pnpm turbo
      go install golang.org/x/tools/gopls@latest

maintenance: |
  echo "All runtimes are available:"
  node --version
  python --version
  go version
  java --version

Actions like setup-node and setup-python modify PATH and environment variables. Binaries installed by one action are available in all subsequent steps and in maintenance. Only Node.js-based GitHub Actions are supported. Composite and Docker-based actions are not.

You don’t need GitHub Actions for basic tool setup. Direct shell commands (nvm install 20, curl ... | sh, apt-get install) work just as well and are often simpler. GitHub Actions are most useful when you want to match your CI setup exactly or need the convenience of actions like setup-java which handle multiple distributions.

Full-stack examples

These examples show how enterprise and org-level configurations combine. In practice, you’d split these across scopes. They’re shown together here for reference.

Full enterprise stack (Artifactory)

A complete enterprise environment: corporate CA certificate, proxy, Java (Maven), Python (pip/uv), Node.js (npm), and Docker, all pointed at a single Artifactory instance.

Required secrets

Network & trust (account-wide):

CORP_ROOT_CA_B64 — Base64-encoded corporate CA certificate
CORP_HTTP_PROXY — HTTP proxy URL
CORP_HTTPS_PROXY — HTTPS proxy URL
CORP_NO_PROXY — Hosts to bypass proxy

Registry credentials (org-wide):

ARTIFACTORY_USER — Artifactory username
ARTIFACTORY_TOKEN — Artifactory API token or password
ARTIFACTORY_MAVEN_URL — Maven repository URL (e.g., https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/maven-virtual)
ARTIFACTORY_PYPI_URL — PyPI repository URL (e.g., https://user:token@artifactory.example.com/artifactory/api/pypi/pypi-virtual/simple)
ARTIFACTORY_NPM_URL — npm repository URL (e.g., https://artifactory.example.com/artifactory/api/npm/npm-virtual)
ARTIFACTORY_DOCKER_URL — Docker registry URL (e.g., artifactory.example.com)

This would typically be split across three scopes:

Account-wide (initialize): Certificate and proxy
Org-wide (initialize): Language runtime installs
Org-wide (maintenance): Registry credentials (refreshed each session)

Shown here combined for reference:

      echo "$ARTIFACTORY_TOKEN" | docker login "$ARTIFACTORY_DOCKER_URL" \
        --username "$ARTIFACTORY_USER" \
        --password-stdin

In this example, all registries point at the same Artifactory instance but use different URL paths. Each package ecosystem has its own endpoint format. Maven, PyPI, npm, and Docker URLs are all different even for the same registry.

Multi-language with different registries

When different languages use different private registries (e.g., Maven from Nexus, npm from GitHub Packages, Python from Artifactory).

Required secrets

NEXUS_MAVEN_URL — Nexus Maven repository URL
NEXUS_USER — Nexus username
NEXUS_PASS — Nexus password
GITHUB_PACKAGES_TOKEN — GitHub personal access token with read:packages scope
ARTIFACTORY_USER — Artifactory username

JDK_TARBALL_URL — URL to download JDK tarball from internal mirror
NODE_TARBALL_URL — URL to download Node.js tarball from internal mirror

Package registries:

INTERNAL_MAVEN_URL — Internal Maven registry URL
INTERNAL_NPM_URL — Internal npm registry URL
INTERNAL_PYPI_URL — Internal PyPI registry URL

initialize:
  - name: Install corporate CA certificate
    run: |

In air-gapped environments, all tools Devin needs (language runtimes, CLI tools, etc.) must be available on your internal mirrors. Public registries and download sites are unreachable.

VPN + certificates + proxy + languages

A comprehensive enterprise setup combining VPN connectivity with certificates, proxy, and multi-language support. This is the recommended order of operations.

Required secrets

VPN:

VPN_CONFIG_B64 — Base64-encoded OpenVPN config file

Network & trust:

CORP_ROOT_CA_B64 — Base64-encoded corporate CA certificate
CORP_HTTP_PROXY — HTTP proxy URL
CORP_HTTPS_PROXY — HTTPS proxy URL
CORP_NO_PROXY — Hosts to bypass proxy

Registry credentials:

MAVEN_REGISTRY_URL — Maven registry URL
NPM_REGISTRY_URL — npm registry URL
PYPI_REGISTRY_HOST — PyPI registry hostname
REGISTRY_USER — Registry username (for Maven and pip)
REGISTRY_PASS — Registry password (for Maven and pip)
REGISTRY_TOKEN — npm auth token

Order matters for initialize steps. VPN must come first (so internal hosts are reachable), then DNS (so names resolve), then certificates (so HTTPS works), then proxy (so traffic routes correctly), and finally language runtimes (which may download from internal mirrors).

Tips for writing good blueprints

Test commands in a session first. Run commands manually in a Devin session before adding them to your blueprint. This is faster than waiting for a full build cycle.
Use initialize for install-once tools, maintenance for deps. Anything that takes minutes to install (compilers, large binaries, global tools) belongs in initialize. Quick dependency commands (npm install, uv sync) go in maintenance.
Keep maintenance commands fast. Aim for under 2 minutes. These run at the start of every session.
Use $ENVRC for environment variables. Don’t write to .bashrc or .profile. $ENVRC is the supported mechanism for setting variables across steps and sessions.
Name your steps. The expanded form with name fields makes build log failures much easier to identify.
Use subshells for monorepos. (cd packages/foo && npm install) runs in a subshell so subsequent steps aren’t affected by the directory change.
Use npm install, not npm ci. npm ci deletes node_modules and reinstalls from scratch every session, which is slow for maintenance.
Use repo secrets for sensitive values. Configure them in Settings > Secrets with repo scope instead of hardcoding in blueprints.

For syntax details, see the Blueprint reference. For troubleshooting build failures, see Declarative configuration > Troubleshooting.
