About:
Aftman is a cross-platform toolchain manager designed specifically for Roblox development, serving as a modern replacement for Foreman. It manages and version-controls essential tools like the Roblox CLI, Luau language server, and other utilities needed for a streamlined Roblox development workflow. Its primary value is ensuring consistent tool versions across different machines and team members.
Key Features:
  • Cross-platform support (Windows, macOS, Linux)
  • Declarative toolchain configuration via aftman.toml
  • Automatic tool downloading and version management
  • Seamless integration with Roblox development workflows
Use Cases:
  • Managing specific versions of the Roblox CLI for different projects
  • Standardizing development tools across a team of Roblox developers
  • Automating setup of a new Roblox development environment
Alternatives:
  • Foreman – Aftman is considered the spiritual successor with improved features and active development.
  • Rojo – Complementary tool; Rojo syncs code between Studio and filesystem, while Aftman manages the tools themselves.
