How to run the CLI locally

First, cd into the cli directory:

cd packages/cli

Then run pnpm run dev which will build and re-build on any changes to the CLI package

Next, head to an example repo (e.g. examples/nextjs-clerk) and add the package to devDependencies if it's not already:

"devDependencies": {
  "@trigger.dev/cli": "workspace:*"
},

After running pnpm i, you should be able to cd to the examples/nextjs-clerk and then run pnpm exec cli to run the @trigger.dev/cli. You won't need to keep doing pnpm i or anything to pickup changes from packages/cli.
