### Working on JS and CSS
Edit files in `web_src` and run the linter and build the files in `public`:
For simple changes, edit files in `web_src`, run the build and start the server to test:
```bash
make webpack
make build && ./gitea
```
For more involved changes use the `watch-frontend` task to continuously rebuild files when their sources change. The `bindata` tag must be absent to ensure the file system will be used for files in `public`. First, build and run the backend:
```bash
make backend && ./gitea
```
With the backend running, open another terminal and run:
```bash
make watch-frontend
```
Before committing, make sure the linters pass:
```bash
make lint-frontend
```
Note: When working on frontend code, it is advisable to set `USE_SERVICE_WORKER` to `false` in `app.ini` which will prevent undesirable caching of frontend assets.
