- 📜 `start` - Run your application with bun.
- 📜 `start:smol` - Run your application with bun and a flag which configures the JavaScriptCore heap size to be smaller and grow slower.
- 📜 `start:bin` - Run your standalone binary app.
**Clean**
- 📜 `clean` - Remove coverage data, prod, build.
**Development**
- 📜 `dev` - Launch your application in development mode with bun.
- 📜 `dev:watch` - Interactive watch mode to automatically transpile source files with bun in development.
- 📜 `dev:hot` - Hot reloading of source files with bun in development.
- 📜 `dev:smol:watch` - Interactive watch mode to automatically transpile source files with bun in development, while using --smol flag.
- 📜 `dev:smol:hot` - Hot reloading source files with bun in development, while using --smol flag.
**Build**
- 📜 `build` - Transpile and bundle source files with bun.
- 📜 `build:watch` - Interactive watch mode to automatically transpile source files with bun.

### 📌 Build
When using the **build.js** file in this boilerplate, it's important to note the significance of the **target** option. By default, if the target option is not specified in the **build.js** file, it will be set to `browser`. However, for projects utilizing the `bun.js` runtime environment, it's imperative to explicitly set the target to `bun`. This guarantees compatibility with the `bun` shell environment and prevents unexpected behavior. Furthermore, it's noteworthy that the `target` supports three possible values: `browser`, `bun`, and `node`, providing flexibility in defining the build target according to specific project requirements.
