Local Temporal Dev Setup

To develop against a local build of the Temporal server, you need two things running in separate terminals.

Terminal 1 — Temporal server (from your local temporal repo)

Navigate to your local clone of the temporalio/temporal repo and start the server:

make start

This builds and starts the server with SQLite in-memory. If you want a specific branch, check it out first:

git checkout <branch-name>
make bins  # safe to run even if already built — outputs "Nothing to be done" and exits cleanly
make start
