Local development
Fork and clone the repo
Fork the repository to your own GitHub account and then clone it to your local device.
Once, you’ve done that, create a new branch:
git checkout -b MY_BRANCH_NAME
Set up environment variables
Start by creating a .env file at the root of the Infisical directory then copy the contents of the file below into the .env file.
The pre-populated environment variable values above are meant to be used in development only. They should never be used in production.

Starting Infisical for development
We use Docker to spin up all required services for Infisical in local development. If you are unfamiliar with Docker, don’t worry, all you have to do is install Docker for your machine and run the command below to start up the development server.
Start local server
docker-compose -f docker-compose.dev.yml up --build --force-recreate
Access local server
Once all the services have spun up, browse to http://localhost:8080. To sign in, you may use the default credentials listed below.
