clone

rally-app-builder clone RallyApps StoryBoard

Most Rally Apps are created by using an existing App as a template. By using the rally-app-builder clone command you can get a copy of the existing App without installing the Git CLI. This command makes some changes to the config file so that we can tell which App you based your work on. As we determine which apps you are most interested in customizing we take that as input on ways to improve the existing catalog App.

run

rally-app-builder run

The run command starts a local http server and launches your App-debug.html file in the default browser for quick an easy development. By default the server listens on port 1337. This can be changed as follows:

`rally-app-builder run 9999'

watch
