Set Up Your First Project ​

Use this tutorial when you already know the service port and want a project-local config that lets teammates open the right browser target from the repo.

1. Create the project config ​

From the project root:

bash
devproxy init --name api.myapp --port 8000

This writes .devproxy/config.json, registers the service, and prepares the local domain.

2. Add browser targets ​

Put common pages in the config:

json
{
  "name": "api.myapp",
  "port": 8000,
  "open": {
    "default": "/",
    "targets": {
      "docs": "/docs",
      "admin": "/admin"
    }
  }
}

Now the project can open named targets:

bash
devproxy open
devproxy open docs
devproxy open admin

3. Reuse the config on another machine ​

If a teammate clones the repo and the config already exists, they can run:

bash
devproxy init

DevProxy prompts before reusing the existing config so the project name and port stay explicit.
