# Dev The `retrodeep dev` command spins up a local development server, allowing you to test and develop your project in an environment similar to Retrodeep's production servers. ## Usage To start the development server for your project, you can run: ```bash retrodeep dev ``` This command will serve the current directory on a local server. If you need to serve a different directory or specify a port, you can use the additional flags provided. #### Specifying a Custom Directory To start a development server with a custom directory path: ```bash retrodeep dev --dir /path/to/your/project ``` #### Specifying a Custom Port By default, `retrodeep dev` serves your application on port `3000`. To specify a different port, use the `-p` or `--port` option: ```bash retrodeep dev --port 5000 ``` This will start the development server on port `5000`. ### Interactive Development While the `retrodeep dev` server is running, any changes made to your project files will automatically be reloaded in the development server, providing a real-time development experience. ### Available Options * `-p, --port ` - Specify a custom port to listen on. * `-d, --dir ` - Specify a custom directory path for the server to serve. * `-h, --help` - Display help information for the `dev` command. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
