🎯 Purpose & Scope

DevTunnel-CLI is designed for DEVELOPMENT, TESTING, DEMOS, and WEBHOOK DEBUGGING. It provides fast, frictionless access to your local dev servers from anywhere.

DevTunnel-CLI is built for developers who need instant public URLs to share work-in-progress, test on mobile devices, demo features to clients, or debug webhooks from third-party services.

⚡ Quick Start

Step-by-Step Guide

1. Install DevTunnel (one-time setup):

npm i -g devtunnel-cli

2. Navigate to your project directory:

cd your-project

3. Have your app running (in one terminal):

npm run dev
# OR  php artisan serve   (Laravel)
# OR  XAMPP / Live Server (PHP/HTML)
# HTML: optional — DevTunnel can start a built-in server

4. Run DevTunnel (in another terminal, same directory):

cd your-project  # Same directory as your project
devtunnel-cli    # Auto-detects project type and port!

That's it! DevTunnel auto-detects Node, Laravel, HTML, and PHP/XAMPP projects.
