🚀 Codify v1.0.0 — Dashboard Integration, Linux Support & More!

We're thrilled to announce Codify v1.0.0, our first major stable release! This milestone represents months of work to make Codify more powerful, flexible, and accessible across platforms. Whether you're managing a single macOS machine or coordinating development environments across Linux teams, v1.0.0 has you covered.

What's New in the CLI

Dashboard Integration

The biggest addition to v1.0.0 is full integration with the Codify dashboard. You can now:

Authenticate directly from the CLI with codify login
Edit configurations in your browser using codify edit to launch the visual editor
Connect your local CLI to your cloud account for seamless synchronization
Log out when needed with codify logout

This makes it easier than ever to manage your configurations, especially when working across multiple machines or collaborating with a team.

Cloud File Support

No more passing config files around manually. With cloud file support, you can:

Load configurations from remote sources using codify apply and codify plan
Share configurations across teams without local file dependencies
Keep your setup in sync across all your development machines

New Commands

codify refresh Refresh your project state to sync with the latest changes
codify test Test your configurations before applying them to catch issues early

Full Linux Support

Codify now works seamlessly on Linux distributions with:

OS-specific parameter handling for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, Arch, and more
Cross-platform shell compatibility improvements
Fixed sudo command execution across different shells (bash, zsh, fish, etc.)

Security & Quality of Life

Support for sensitive parameters that are automatically skipped during init and import operations
Improved environment variable handling with sudo
Enhanced progress display and error handling throughout the CLI

What's New in the Core Plugin

Linux Package Manager Support

The core plugin now includes first-class support for Linux package managers:

apt for Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions
yum and dnf for RHEL/Fedora-based distributions
snap for universal package management

All existing resources (asdf, homebrew alternatives, git, python, vscode, etc.) have been tested and fixed for Linux compatibility.

Multi-Resource Declarations

Reduce config verbosity with support for declaring multiple resources in a single block:

aliases Define multiple shell aliases in one config
path Manage multiple PATH entries together
git-repository Clone multiple repositories in a single declaration

Before:

[
  { "type": "alias", "name": "ll", "value": "ls -la" },
  { "type": "alias", "name": "gs", "value": "git status" },
  { "type": "alias", "name": "gp", "value": "git push" }
]

After:

[
  {
    "type": "aliases",
    "aliases": [
      { "name": "ll", "value": "ls -la" },
      { "name": "gs", "value": "git status" },
      { "name": "gp", "value": "git push" }
    ]
  }
]

New Resources

npm-login Authenticate with npm registries programmatically
tart Manage VMs and containers on macOS (great for testing!)

Under the Hood

Migrated to Zod schema validation for better type safety and error messages
Updated to @codifycli scoped packages for better npm organization
Improved test infrastructure with persistent VMs for faster development

What v1.0.0 Means

Reaching v1.0.0 is a significant milestone. It means:

Stable API We're committed to maintaining backwards compatibility
Production-ready Thousands of resources managed in real-world environments
Cross-platform Full support for both macOS and Linux
Team-friendly Cloud integration makes collaboration seamless
