Deploy to Nife without leaving VS Code
The Nife CLI Extension puts your full deployment workflow inside the editor. Deploy, stream logs, manage secrets, and configure apps — all from the Command Palette.
Your full deployment surface, inside the editor
No more alt-tabbing to a terminal. Everything nifectl can do, the extension can do — with the discoverability of the Command Palette.
Login without leaving the editor
Authenticate with your Nife.io account directly from VS Code — no browser tab, no separate login flow.
Full app lifecycle from the palette
Create, deploy, list, scale, and tear down applications using Ctrl+Shift+P — no terminal required.
Logs and metrics, streamed live
Tail application logs and view health metrics in a dedicated VS Code output channel — right where you're debugging.
Manage secrets without switching context
Set, update, and list environment variables and secrets from inside the editor.
Every nifectl command, one shortcut away
Every deployment action is one keystroke away. Open the Command Palette, type "Nife" and go — no flags to memorise, no man pages to check.
Clean, persistent output channel
Command results go to a dedicated Nife output channel — no noise in your terminal, always visible when you need it.
