## How to develop
-1. Compile the go binary
- - run `make` in the **root** directory
-2. Run the GraphQL backend on the port 3001
- - `./git-bug webui -p 3001`
-3. Run the hot-reloadable development WebUI
+### Run GraphQL backend
- - run `npm start` in the **webui** directory
+1. Download a git-bug stable binary or compile your own by running `make` in the **root** directory:
+
+2. Run the git-bug binary inside your git repository. It will manage issues and start the API:
+ - `git-bug webui -p 3001`
+
+### Run ReactJS front-end
+
+1. If you haven't already, clone the git-bug repository:
+
+2. Enter the `webui` directory and install the needed libraries:
+ - `make install` or `npm install`
+
+3. Generate the TS code from the GrapQL files and run the webui in development mode:
+ - `make start` or `npm start`
+ - If you get some lint errors, run the lint command below and start again:
+ - `make fix-lint` or `npm run lint -- --fix`
+ - `make start` or `npm start`
The development version of the WebUI is configured to query the backend on the port 3001. You can now live edit the js code and use the normal backend.
