+# git-bug rich web UI
+
+## 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 `npm start` in the **webui** directory
+
+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.
+
+## Bundle the web UI
+
+Once the webUI is good enough for a new release, run `make pack-webui` from the root directory to bundle the compiled js into the go binary. \ No newline at end of file
