Description
This pull request adds a development mode to the application, allowing developers to safely test changes without affecting real user data. It introduces the
TMPO_DEVenvironment variable, which switches the database location to a separate directory for development purposes. Documentation has been updated to explain how to use this feature and clarify the differences between production and development modes.Development mode support:
internal/storage/db.goto check theTMPO_DEVenvironment variable; when set to"1"or"true", the application uses the~/.tmpo-dev/directory for its database instead of the default~/.tmpo/directory. [1] [2]Documentation updates:
CONTRIBUTING.mdwith a new "Development Mode" section, including usage instructions, database locations, and guidance on making the setting persistent for development.CONTRIBUTING.md, and added a reference to the new development mode documentation.
