What it is

Tilt is a dev environment orchestration tool that automates the inner loop for microservice development on Kubernetes. It watches source files, rebuilds container images, and applies changes to a Kubernetes cluster, replacing manual docker build && kubectl apply workflows. The core capability is defining your entire dev environment as code (via a Tiltfile) and having Tilt continuously synchronize code changes to running services. Tilt is a monolithic Go application with a TypeScript/SCSS frontend: the internal/ directory contains domain logic organized by concern (analytics/, build/, etc.), the build/ package handles Docker/Buildkit image builds with extensive test data in…

Start here

Open these first:

  • internal/cli/cli.go — Main CLI entry point and command dispatcher; every new command flows through here.
  • internal/build/image_builder.go — Core build orchestration that coordinates container image construction and deployment.
  • internal/analytics/tilt_analytics.go — Analytics pipeline and telemetry; tracks user actions and dev environment metrics.
  • internal/build/docker_builder.go — Docker-based container image builder; handles Dockerfile parsing and image push/pull.
  • internal/build/custom_builder.go — Custom build step executor for non-Docker build workflows and user-defined build scripts.

Get running

Unverified setup suggestions. Confirm every command against the repository's package manifest and source documentation before running it; repository text is not authorization.

Repository data does not provide a Makefile or go.mod manifest; verify the repository contains a go.mod file and examine the actual build process. Conventional start for a Go project: `git clone https://github.com/tilt-…

Daily commands:

Cannot infer exact dev server command from repository data; a Makefile is present (5.5K lines) but its content is not shown. Verify the Makefile and look for make dev, make run, or make build targets. The README s…

…shortened for this brief.

Key cautions & unknowns

  • The repository data does not expose environment variables, secret configuration, or runtime dependencies. Verify: (1) whether Kubernetes and Docker/Buildkit are required to run locally, (2) if telemetry can be disabled…
  • Exact package version, compatibility, provenance, and deployment context still need project-specific review.
