Enabling developer mode for Magento development

Now that you’ve learned about the application modes, lets enable developer mode, which makes things friendly for Magento development.

To run the Magento CLI script you will need to open up Terminal.

You can find which mode you are currently on by running

bin/magento deploy:mode:show

Let’s set the mode that we’ll also use in dev, and we can do that by running

bin/magento deploy:mode:set developer

This changes some Magento configurations, flushes out some generated code, and gets our environment all set for development.
