Quickstart step 6: Start the server
cd sourcegraph ./dev/start.sh
This will continuously compile your code and live reload your locally running instance of Sourcegraph.
Navigate your browser to https://sourcegraph.test:3443 to see if everything worked.
Environment
Sourcegraph server is a collection of smaller binaries. The development server, dev/start.sh, initializes the environment and starts a process manager that runs all of the binaries. See the Architecture doc for a full description of what each of these services does. The sections below describe the dependencies you need to run dev/start.sh.
For Sourcegraph employees
You'll need to clone sourcegraph/dev-private (which has convenient preconfigured settings and external services on an enterprise account) alongside the sourcegraph/sourcegraph repository, for example:
/dir |-- dev-private +-- sourcegraph
After the initial setup you can run enterprise/dev/start.sh instead of dev/start.sh.
The environment variables SITE_CONFIG_FILE, EXTSVC_CONFIG_FILE and GLOBAL_SETTINGS_FILE are paths that are read at startup. The content of the files will overwrite the respective setting. start.sh will set these files to point into dev-private. To avoid overwriting configuration changes done in Sourcegraph, you can set the environment variable DEV_NO_CONFIG=1.
