The command "gatsby develop" is used in the Gatsby framework, which is a static site generator based on React.
When you run "gatsby develop" in the command line, it starts a local development server that compiles your Gatsby site and runs it in your browser at a specified URL. This development server supports hot reloading, which means that any changes you make to your code will automatically refresh the page in real-time.
Running "gatsby develop" also enables advanced development features like GraphQL and other tools offered by Gatsby. It makes it easier to build and test your Gatsby site before deploying it to a production server.
In summary, "gatsby develop" is a command used to spin up a local development server for your Gatsby site, allowing you to build and test your project in real-time.
