dev-env-inspector

dev-env-inspector

A small utility to help you and your team diagnose development environment issues. It gathers non-sensitive system facts (OS, architecture, tool versions, locale, and a few well-known config locations) and prints them as JSON.

Usage

python -m dev_env_inspector [--format json|text] [--scope quick|full]

• --format json (default): machine-readable output.
• --scope quick: only check core tools (git, python, node).
• --scope full: additionally probe installed package managers and shell info.

Features

• Detects OS family and kernel/release string.
• Lists versions of common development tools if present.
• Checks a few standard environment variables (e.g., HOME, SHELL).
• Prints results to stdout; no network access, no file writes.

Examples

python -m dev_env_inspector --format json --scope quick

Notes

• All checks are read-only and local.
• Unknown tools are skipped gracefully.
