LocalHelm

Control panel for local development.

See which local projects need attention: uncommitted work, package versions, dependents, and supported site or port status. Scan proposes. You enroll. status is a read. Writes need --apply. LocalSlip is the slip. LocalHelm is the wheel. Ports and FilePress jobs are optional.

pnpm add -g localhelm
# or from a checkout:
pnpm install && pnpm build

localhelm plugins
localhelm plugin filepress              # FilePress plugin, if present
localhelm plugin filepress sync
localhelm plugin xfacts                 # xFacts labels board, if enrolled
localhelm serve                         # :4321 on all interfaces
localhelm serve --free-port             # stop the named pid on that port, then serve

scan never writes. Other commands print a plan; --apply writes. publish, push, ship, and global need named ids. Never --force.

localhelm serve opens the dashboard on port 4321. A global install runs the packaged board (SSR deps are bundled; no app/ needed). A checkout still uses Vite. If that port is already taken, serve names the pid and stops. Re-run with --free-port to stop it and bind. Never --force. Writes stay on loopback.

Skip folders with .localhelmignore at the workspace, or ~/.localhelm/ignore.
