devbox services up

Starts process-compose and runs all the services in your project. If a list of services is specified in the arguments, only those services will be started.

devbox services up [services]... [flags]

This command will launch the process-compose TUI in the foreground. To run process-compose and your services in the background, use the -b flag.

Once your services are running, you can manage them using services start, services stop, and services restart.
