Overview
Follow the developer setup guide for full prerequisites and installation steps. This page covers the parts that trip people up most often.
Local Supabase
We use a local Supabase instance (powered by Docker) during development. You do not need production Supabase keys — everything is generated locally.
task supabase-start
This will:
- Start a local Supabase server in Docker
- Generate
.env.supabaseat the repo root with all necessary keys (SUPABASE_URL,SUPABASE_ANON_KEY, etc.) - Run pending migrations
See Environment Variables for the full list of generated variables.
GitHub Login (OAuth)
To enable the GitHub login flow locally, use Infisical to inject the dev-only OAuth credentials:
infisical run --env=dev --projectId=87dad7b5-72a6-4791-9228-b3b86b169db1 --path="/supabase" -- task supabase-start
This sets GITHUB_CLIENT_ID and GITHUB_CLIENT_SECRET for a dev-only GitHub OAuth app, so GitHub login works against your local Supabase.
Without these credentials, task supabase-start still works — you just won't be able to test GitHub OAuth login.
See the Login docs for more details on authentication setup.
Running the App
pnpm -F ui build && pnpm -F desktop tauri dev
See Run for all available dev commands (desktop, web, API, etc.).
Common Issues
"I can't log in / I don't have the Supabase keys" — You don't need production keys. Run task supabase-start to spin up a local Supabase instance that generates all the keys automatically.
"GitHub login doesn't work" — You need the dev-only OAuth credentials from Infisical. See the GitHub Login section above.
"Cursor can't connect to the network when indexing" — Ensure you have a stable internet connection and restart Cursor. If the issue persists, you can still work by browsing the code directly.
