<details>
<summary>Initial Dev Setup</summary>
This repository is structured as a monorepo and contains many Node.JS packages. Each package has
its own set of commands, but the most common commands are available from the
root `[package.json](package.json)` and can be accessed using the `npm run ...` command. Here
are the only three commands you should need to start developing on the app.
```bash
# Install and Link Dependencies
npm run bootstrap
# Run Tests
npm test
# Start App with Live Reload
npm run app-start
```
