The rebind command works next to the app. Use it when you write scripts in your own editor and keep a terminal open beside it. This page walks through one development loop. Every command and option is in the CLI reference. Run rebind on its own to list the commands. The letters in parentheses are short aliases.
Terminal output of rebind listing commands under develop, packages, troubleshoot, scripts, and account, with aliases such as c for check and r for run

rebind with no arguments lists the commands by task.

​
Start a package

rebind init hello creates a hello folder with a manifest, a main.luau that logs a line when it starts, a README, and a .gitignore. rebind check validates it offline; check lists what it covers.
Terminal output of rebind init hello listing the four created files, then rebind check reporting ok for manifest, modeline, require graph, compile, and permissions

Scaffold a package, then check it.

To edit in VS Code with autocomplete, see Editor setup.

​
Run it while you edit

From the package folder, rebind run checks the package, loads it into the running Rebind, and prints its log lines. When you save a change, it checks again and reloads; run lists which files count. Below, the logged message was edited while the script ran. Ctrl+C stops the script and exits.
Terminal output of rebind run: the check passes, the script starts and logs hello started, then reloads after main.luau changed and logs hello, version 2, then stops

rebind run reloads the script when a file changes.

​
See what is loaded

rebind ps lists every script instance Rebind has loaded. Stop one with rebind script stop and its ID or path; see script.
Terminal output of rebind ps showing two running instances, clock.luau and packages/hello/main.luau, each with an ID, uptime, heap size, and tick time

Two scripts loaded from the scripts folder.

​
Watch the logs

rebind logs streams new log lines from Rebind and every running script. --level and --script narrow the stream; see logs.
Terminal output of rebind logs streaming one info line per second from clock.luau

A script that logs the time every second.

​
Try a line of Luau

rebind exec runs a chunk inside Rebind with the full SDK and prints what it printed, then what it returned:
rebind repl opens the same runtime as an interactive session.

​
Ask the terminal agent

rebind ai is a coding agent for the scripts in the current folder. Describe what you want in plain words. It shows its reasoning while it works and asks before it writes a file or runs a command. Running Luau inside Rebind asks once per session. Rebind’s models are part of Rebind Pro; ai covers other models and the session controls. Below, the request was “move my mouse in a circle”.
rebind ai at startup: the Rebind monogram, the version, the working folder, the signed-in account, the model, the keys, and the Spy panel on the right

rebind ai opens with the folder it works in, the signed-in account, and the model.

rebind ai showing the request move my mouse in a circle, followed by the agent's reasoning about using rb.run and rb.sleep to animate the movement

The agent works out an approach before it acts.

An exec_lua approval box listing a Luau chunk that moves the pointer 80 small steps around a circle, with yes selected and no below it

It shows the Luau it wants to run and waits for yes or no.

A run_bash approval box for the command sleep 1.5, with yes and no

A shell command asks the same way. Here it waits for the circle to finish.

The finished conversation: the exec_lua call returning moving, sleep 1.5 exiting 0, a second exec_lua call returning completed, and the reply Moved your mouse in a circle and completed the loop

Each step and its result stay in the conversation.

Share it

When the package is ready, rebind pack builds a .rbp file you can hand to someone, and rebind publish submits it to the marketplace. See pack and Publishing scripts.
