 3## How to develop
 4
 51. Compile the go binary
 6   - run `make` in the **root** directory
 72. Run the GraphQL backend on the port 3001
 8   - `./git-bug webui -p 3001`
 93. Run the hot-reloadable development WebUI
10   - run `npm start` in the **webui** directory
11   
12The 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.

14## Bundle the web UI

16Once 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.
