# devbox global

> Top level command for managing global packages.

You can use `devbox global` to install packages that you want to use across all your local devbox
projects. For example -- if you usually use `ripgrep` for searching in all your projects, you can
use `devbox global add ripgrep` to make it available whenever you start a `devbox shell` without
adding it to each project's `devbox.json.`

You can also use Devbox as a global package manager by adding the following line to your shellrc:

`eval "$(devbox global shellenv)"`

For more details, see [Use Devbox as your Primary Package Manager](/docs/devbox/devbox-global/).

```bash theme={null}
devbox global <subcommand> [flags]
```
