Flow is a command-line tool built in Rust, described as "everything you need to move your project faster." It installs as a small binary called f on macOS and Linux (both arm64 and x86_64), and provides a set of commands designed to speed up common development tasks. The core workflow revolves around three commands: f setup checks your workspace and toolchain, f test runs the test suite, and f deploy builds and installs the project locally. Flow also handles its own upgrades, you can update to the latest stable release, switch to a canary build, or roll back to stable with a single command. When building from source, the project uses a pinned vendor snapshot system to ensure reproducible builds. Beyond these basics, the full list of available commands can be explored by running f --help, and the project maintains additional documentation in a docs/ directory.
