= About the devfile in {odo-title}
|
|
|
|
The devfile is a portable file that describes your development environment.
|
|
With the devfile, you can define a portable developmental environment without the need for reconfiguration.
|
|
|
|
With the devfile, you can describe your development environment, such as the source code, IDE tools, application runtimes, and predefined commands. To learn more about the devfile, see link:https://redhat-developer.github.io/devfile/[the devfile documentation].
|
|
|
|
With `{odo-title}`, you can create components from the devfiles. When creating a component by using a devfile, `{odo-title}` transforms the devfile into a workspace consisting of multiple containers that run on {product-title}, Kubernetes, or Docker.
|
|
`{odo-title}` automatically uses the default devfile registry but users can add their own registries.
