What is DevGraph?

DevGraph is a file-first local memory system for code understanding. It incrementally indexes your repo into a graph inside .devgraph/ so coding assistants can query structure instead of rereading the entire codebase.

​
Key Features

Incremental Build

Sync changed files only. DevGraph hashes source files and reuses cached per-file artifacts.

On-device Memory

Everything lives in .devgraph/ as plain files you can inspect, diff, and keep local.

Code-first Graph

V1 indexes files, symbols, imports, references, and lightweight context files like README.md.

Focused Retrieval

Use devgraph query for bounded evidence instead of broad file search.

Self-updating Loop

Run devgraph watch to keep the graph fresh while you edit code.

​
Generated Outputs

When you run devgraph build, DevGraph writes:

​
Command Surface

DevGraph v1 ships four commands:
  • devgraph build [paths...]
  • devgraph watch [paths...]
  • devgraph query "<question>"
  • devgraph status
