Capability overview

How can I use activity center in DevDock?

Keep running Git operations and recent notifications within reach without leaving a progress window over the workspace.

Hide a running Git progress view without stopping the operation, then reopen it from the Activity Center to inspect its current step, elapsed time, and live output.

Recent success, warning, and failure messages remain available in the Activity Center, while completed workflows refresh the project and close cleanly.

If live command events are interrupted, DevDock reconnects and reconciles active executions so a missed finish event does not leave stale running state behind.

Does DevDock replace the terminal?

No. It provides a repeatable control surface for common project workflows and can still open a registered folder in a terminal, Visual Studio Code, or File Explorer.

Does project detection run repository code?

No. Detection reads a bounded set of manifests and marker files. It does not execute package managers, build tools, project scripts, or network requests.
