Running a local version of the Makeswift CLI

1. Modify the CLI so you know when you're running the local version

I like to add a console log to /your/local/makeswift/packages/makeswift/src/init.ts

``diff
export default async function wrappedInit(name: string | undefined, args: InitArgs) {
+ console.log(\n\n\nRunning Local Version\n\n\n)
try {
await init(name, args)
} catch (err) {
if (err instanceof MakeswiftError) {
console.log(err.message)
process.exit(0)
} else {
throw err
}
}
}
`
2. Run the CLI in dev mode
`sh
pnpm i --ignore-scripts
pnpm -F makeswift dev
`
3. Globally link the CLI
`sh
pnpm link --global --dir /your/local/makeswift/packages/makeswift
`
4. Create a temp directory
`sh
cd $(mktemp -d)
`
5. Test the app by running
`
makeswift init test-app
makeswift init test-app --with-bun
makeswift init test-app --with-pnpm

// etc...
`
6. When you are done, remove the linked version of the CLI
`sh
pnpm uninstall --global makeswift
