Cognition brings Devin Cloud control, task handoffs and full SSH access to its CLI
Summary
Cognition adds Devin Cloud control to its CLI, allowing developers to hand off local tasks to persistent cloud VMs and access them with full SSH via devin ssh for editing, port forwarding, and scp transfers.
Key Points
- Cognition launches Devin Cloud integration in the Devin CLI, letting users create, steer, resume, and monitor cloud sessions from a terminal via devin --cloud or /cloud.
- The new /handoff command transfers a local task to Devin’s dedicated cloud VM while users continue observing and steering it from the terminal; cloud sessions persist after the originating terminal closes.
- Cognition adds full SSH access to Devin VMs through devin ssh, enabling source editing, dev-server port forwarding, and scp file transfers; free SWE-2 sessions are available through October 8.
