UUID Generator

Generate cryptographically random UUIDs in multiple versions.

Commands

devv uuid
devv uuid --version v7
devv uuid --version v5 --namespace dns --name example.com
devv uuid --count 5 --uppercase

Examples

# Generate one UUID v4 (default)
devv uuid

# UUID v7 (time-ordered, great for database PKs)
devv uuid --version v7

# UUID v1 (timestamp-based)
devv uuid --version v1

# UUID v5 (deterministic — same input = same UUID)
devv uuid --version v5 --namespace dns --name example.com
devv uuid --version v5 --namespace url --name https://devv.tools

# Generate 5 uppercase UUIDs
devv uuid -n 5 --uppercase

# Copy to clipboard
devv uuid | pbcopy

Output

$ devv uuid --version v7
018f6b9a-c3e4-7def-8a9b-1c2d3e4f5a6b

$ devv uuid -n 3
