+git clone git@github.com:PurdueEntomologicalResearchCollection/taxonpages-dev.git
+cd taxonpages-dev
+# 2. Do TaxonPages' funky branch setup

+npm install
+npm run dev
+# 3. Make changes -- http://localhost:5173/taxonpages-dev/, edit code, and the app will hot-reload
+# 4. Commit changes, being careful to not add foreign objects from the `setup` branch
+git add .
