Devin for Terminal is Cognition’s coding agent for working directly from a terminal. You can install it in an E2B sandbox and use the sandbox as an isolated workspace for agent tasks.
Installation
Use a PTY for install and login because Devin’s setup is interactive. You can create a Devin account during sign up if you don’t have one.
