Set Up The Development Environment

1. After cloning the repository, execute the following commands:

   pnpm install
   pnpm run build
   

2. In order to test locally, you can use two types of package linking:

   1. The 'pnpm exec' way (preferred since it does not hamper your original installation of the CLI):

      pnpm link @hoppscotch/cli
      
      // Then to use or test the CLI:
      pnpm exec hopp
      
      // After testing, to remove the package linking:
      pnpm rm @hoppscotch/cli
      

   2. The 'global' way (warning: this might override the globally installed CLI, if exists):

      sudo pnpm link --global
      
      // Then to use or test the CLI:
      hopp
      
      // After testing, to remove the package linking:
      sudo pnpm rm --global @hoppscotch/cli
      

3. To use the Typescript watch scripts:

     pnpm run dev
