fin is the command-line interface for Lando, a Docker-powered tool that simplifies local development for web projects like Drupal, WordPress, Laravel, and more. It abstracts complex Docker configurations into simple recipes, handling services such as web servers (Apache, Nginx), databases (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Redis), Solr, Elasticsearch, and Node.js.

Key capabilities include initializing projects (fin init), starting/stopping environments (fin up/down), running project-specific tools (fin drush, fin composer, fin wp), database imports/exports, log tailing, and SSL provisioning. fin proxies commands into containers seamlessly, ensuring consistent environments across Linux, macOS, and Windows.

It supports extensibility via custom recipes and plugins, making it ideal for teams needing reproducible setups without deep Docker knowledge. Always run with Docker or Podman backend active.

Requires Lando installation and Docker/Podman running. Not a standard coreutils command; specific to Lando users. Subcommands vary by project recipe.

fin init - Initialize project
fin up - Start services
fin down - Teardown services
fin drush|composer|npm - Run tools

Use fin config to view/edit settings, fin logs for debugging, fin db-import for data.

Introduced in Lando v1.0 (2018) by the Lando team (formerly Drupal VM creators). Evolved through Lando v3.x (2020+) with recipe expansions, Podman support, and cloud integrations. Actively maintained for modern web dev workflows.
