For #27889 This PR introduces several improvements to the Makefile/`fdm` tool for development: ### `fdm serve` (alias `fdm up`) Starts a local Fleet server (building the binary first). The first time this is called, it will start the server on `localhost:8080` with the `--dev` and `--dev_license` flags, but the command accepts all of the options that you can pass to `fleet serve`. If you pass options to `fdm serve`, then subsequent invocations _without_ options will replay your last command. Additionally, `fdm serve` supports the following: - `--use-ip`: start the local server on your system's local IP address rather than `localhost`. This makes it easier to point VMs on your system to the fleet server to act as hosts. - `--no-build`: don't rebuild the fleet binary before starting the server. - `--no-save`: don't save the current command for future invocations (useful for scripting) - `--show`: show options for the last-invoked `fdm serve` command - `--reset`: reset the options for `fdm serve`. The next time `fdm serve` is invoked, it will use the default options. - `--help`: show all of the Fleet server options ### `fdm snapshot` improvements * Added `fdm snap` alias * Tracks the name of the last snapshot saved, to use as the default for `fdm restore` * Suppresses the "don't use password in CLI" warning when saving the snapshot ### `fdm restore` improvements * Added `--prep` / `--prepare` option to run db migrations after restoring snapshot. * Improved UI (more options displayed, and clearer indicator for selected option) * Now defaults to last snapshot restored

Goal
Currently developers hunt through command history or saved notes to get the command to start the Fleet server, or else memorize long command strings. They should be able to just do
fdm upto build and start the server quickly.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
