This pull request significantly improves the documentation for the Playground CLI by clarifying the differences between the new simplified
startcommand and the advancedservercommand, updating usage instructions, and providing more details on data persistence and configuration options. The documentation now better guides users on when and how to use each command, highlights automatic project mounting and persistence, and introduces new CLI arguments.Key documentation improvements:
Command Usage and Behavior
start(simplified, auto-detects project, persists sites, opens browser) andserver(advanced, full manual control) in the CLI overview.startfor most users, including examples of automatic project mounting and browser launching.startandserver, especially regarding auto-login, browser opening, and project mounting.Data Persistence
startandservermodes, including the location of persisted files and databases, and the effect of explicit mounts. [1] [2]--resetflag forstartmode, explaining how to reset the persisted site and how to manually clear data forservermode. [1] [2]CLI Arguments and Requirements
--experimental-unsafe-ide-integrationargument for Xdebug integration with VS Code and PhpStorm.startandservercommands, highlighting the dedicated--resetargument forstart.These changes make the CLI documentation more accurate, user-friendly, and up-to-date for both new and advanced users.
