cell claude
Run Claude Code in a devcell container
Synopsis
Starts a Claude Code session inside an isolated devcell container.
The current working directory is mounted as /workspace. All additional args are forwarded to the claude binary unchanged.
Use —ollama to route Claude Code through a local ollama instance (Anthropic Messages API compatibility). This sets ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL to point at ollama on the host. Can also be enabled permanently via use_ollama = true in the [llm] section of devcell.toml.
Examples:
cell claude
cell claude --resume
cell claude --ollama
cell claude [args...] [flags]
Options
-h, --help help for claude
