About envd
envd is a command-line tool for creating container-based development environments for AI/ML work for people and agents. Users declare packages and setup in a build.envd file and start the environment with envd up.
It creates isolated environments with OCI-compatible images that can be shared through registries such as Harbor or Docker Hub, and can run locally or on Kubernetes clusters. It also supports remote builds, PyPI/APT caching, and reuse of setup functions imported from Git repositories.
