Jesse Rosenberger 7e36188421 Development.md: How to Develop Meteor Itself (#8267)
* Blank slate Development.md

* Move "Running Tests" to Development.md

* Move "Running from a Git checkout" to Development.md

* Add information on running specific tests.

* Move the "run against local" disclaimer up to the first paragraph.

* Change header level to be the same as others.

* Remove superfluous section about running specific tests.

* Slight text adjustments

* Add information about continuous integration tests.

* Call the tool tests what they are: self-tests

* Add information about listing tests.

* "argument" => "option", since that's what it is.

* Move "more details" up higher in the text.

* Add test headings.

* How to: Run or exclude specific tests from the self-test tool.

* Add a link to Contributing.md from README.md

* Additional documentation = README.md files

* Add information about running your own CircleCI.

* Add section on code style.

* Add section on commit messages.

While the title is obvious, I guess I should add a commit description
here for the sake of fully explaining the importance of a good commit
message!  This commit, along with the ones before it should help make it
very clear how to contribute to Meteor!

* Update core contributor list.

In addition to adding myself, this adds Hugh Willson (@hwillson) and removes past contributors not currently active.

* Add information on finding work for those who want to contribute.

* Add link to documentation repo.

* Refer to the "Finding work" section from "Submitting pull requests".

* Refer to Roadmap.md from "Tracking project work".

* Hoist "Finding work" up to a more helpful location.

* Add note about files which are ignored by auto-linting.

* Clean up grammar on commit message "Fixes" notation bullet-point.

* Add link to guide.

* Suggest the use an alias for frequent contribution.

Per PR suggestions, add a suggestion to make an alias for more frequent use.  Also, due to difficulty of formatting aforementioned change, move unrelated Note (which didn't belong there) to a more prominent section called "Notes when running from a checkout"

* Add information about the "Dev Bundle".

This moves the dev bundle step out of the "Running from checkout", simplifying those steps, but breaks things down much more in its own, new, section.

* Changes as suggested.

Thanks to @klaussner and @hwillson for these suggestions!  I also changed some other trademark-y things. 😉

* Add a "more reading" section per discussion.

cc @hwillson

* Add a header to `Development.md` explaining its purpose.

Great suggestion, @benjamn.  Thanks.

* Fix header type of "Notes when running from a checkout".

This was inadvertently set as a "H1" (`#`) but should have been nested within the "Running from a Git checkout" section as an "H2" (`##`).

Meteor

TravisCI Status CircleCI Status

Meteor is an ultra-simple environment for building modern web applications.

With Meteor you write apps:

  • in pure JavaScript
  • that send data over the wire, rather than HTML
  • using your choice of popular open-source libraries

Try the getting started tutorial.

Next, read the guide or the reference documentation at http://docs.meteor.com/.

Quick Start

On Windows, simply go to https://www.meteor.com/install and use the Windows installer.

On Linux/macOS, use this line:

curl https://install.meteor.com/ | sh

Create a project:

meteor create try-meteor

Run it:

cd try-meteor
meteor

Slow Start (for developers)

If you're interested in developing Meteor itself, or running unreleased, bleeding-edge code, please refer to the details found in Development.md.

To find more information about contributing to Meteor (whether fixing bugs or adding features), please see Contributing.md.

Uninstalling Meteor

Aside from a short launcher shell script, Meteor installs itself inside your home directory. To uninstall Meteor, run:

rm -rf ~/.meteor/
sudo rm /usr/local/bin/meteor

On Windows, just run the uninstaller from your Control Panel.
