# Overview of DevOps CLI in VS Code

{% hint style="warning" %}

#### Known Issues: Required Update

**An update is required.** The current release of Flosum DevOps requires the latest versions of the Flosum CLI (**@flosum/cli** package) and the **Flosum DevOps-CLI Extension**. Earlier CLI releases do not support topologies and cannot work with a DevOps tenant that uses them, so existing installations must be updated.

**Node.js 22 is required.** On **Node.js 24**, the install and update commands appear to succeed but leave you on an earlier release. Move to Node.js 22 before installing or updating.
{% endhint %}

{% hint style="success" %}

#### Operating System Compatibility

**Flosum CLI** and **Flosum DevOps-CLI Extension** are compatible with the following operating systems:

* **macOS**
* **Linux**

These tools are currently not designed to work with Windows.

Flosum provides a DevOps extension for Visual Studio Code (VS Code) that streamlines work on DevOps projects by giving you direct access to Flosum CLI commands through an easy-to-use interface. Rather than running commands manually in a terminal, you can trigger them directly from VS Code, which reduces context switching and keeps you focused on your code. The extension works alongside the underlying Flosum CLI Node.js package and lets you:

* Manage logins to DevOps tenants.
* Initialize and clone projects.
* Check out and pull branches.
* View and commit changes.

Together, these capabilities cover the day-to-day tasks involved in moving Salesforce changes through a Flosum DevOps branch. To get started, follow the instructions in the articles below to install the Flosum CLI and the Flosum DevOps-CLI extension.

* [Installing Flosum CLI Node.js Package](/devops/code/devops-cli/installing-flosum-cli-node.js-package.md)
* [Installing Flosum DevOps-CLI Extension](/devops/code/devops-cli/installing-flosum-devops-cli-extension.md)

Once the extension is installed, see the following article to learn how to use it and what each command does.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.flosum.com/devops/code/devops-cli/overview-of-devops-cli-in-vs-code.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
