UpEnv

UpEnv is a development environment backup and restoration tool built to make switching computers fast, predictable, and effortless. Instead of spending hours reinstalling applications, packages, extensions, and development tools one by one, UpEnv captures the essential parts of your development environment and restores them on a new machine. It can back up and restore Homebrew packages, Git configuration, VS Code extensions, Python packages, Node.js packages, and other development settings — giving you a consistent environment without the usual setup headache. What makes UpEnv different is that it focuses specifically on the developer environment, not just your files. Traditional backups protect your documents, while dotfiles can restore configuration files, but neither necessarily recreates the complete set of tools and packages you need to start working. UpEnv brings these pieces together into one streamlined workflow. With UpEnv, you can back up your current setup, move to a new computer, and restore your development environment with minimal manual configuration. Whether you are upgrading your machine, replacing a damaged computer, setting up a work device, or simply want a reliable recovery point for your development setup, UpEnv helps you get back to coding instead of rebuilding your environment from scratch. The result: less repetitive setup, fewer forgotten dependencies, a more consistent development environment, and significantly less time spent configuring a new machine.
