-The [devinit](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/devinit/getting-started-with-devinit) command-line tool lets you install additional frameworks and tools into your Windows development codespaces, as well as run PowerShell scripts or modify environment variables. devinit supports a configuration file called [devinit.json](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/devinit/devinit-json), which can be added to your project for creating customized and repeatable development environments. For more information about Windows codespace configuration and devinit, see [Customize a codespace](https://docs.microsoft.com/visualstudio/ide/codespaces/customize-codespaces) in the {% data variables.product.prodname_vs %} documentation.
