With Vercel CLI's new `vercel dev` command, you can locally work on Vercel applications easily, without having to deploy them.

Bring the frontend cloud to your local machine for a seamless development experience. Vercel was born out of the idea that deploying a website could be much simpler. You only have to run a single command: vercel – that is all. With our GitHub and GitLab integrations, we enabled deploying on every git push , and teams to manage staging and production by simply merging pull requests. Not only did Vercel make deployments effortless, it made them scalable and global by default. Thanks to monorepo support, you could develop static websites and serverless functions within the same repository. Today, we are excited to announce one command to run it all on localhost: vercel dev . Even for modern…from vercel.com
