dops

Launch the interactive TUI.

Synopsis

dops [flags]

Description

When run without a subcommand, dops launches a full-screen terminal UI for browsing, parameterizing, and executing runbooks.

The TUI provides:

• Sidebar with catalog tree, search, and collapse/expand
• Metadata panel showing runbook details
• Field-by-field parameter wizard with validation and persistence
• Live streaming output with scrollback, search, and text selection
• Risk confirmation gates for high and critical operations
• 20 built-in themes

On first run, dops creates ~/.dops/ with a default configuration if it doesn't exist. Override the base directory with the DOPS_HOME environment variable.

Options

None.

Environment Variables
