How to install a command line in your project To get started with development, it is easiest to install the AEM command line interface, CLI, and clone your repo locally through using the following. From there change into your project folder and start your local development environment using the following. This opens localhost on port 3000 and you are ready to make changes. A good place to start is in the blocks folder which is where most of the styling and code lives for a project. Simply make a change in a .css or .js and you should see the changes in your browser immediately. Once you are ready to push your changes, simply use git to add, commit, and push in your code to your preview and production sites.
