+## Development
+
+When working on Lit, `luvi` can be used to run `lit` from source without building by using the command at the root of the `lit` source directory:
+
+```
+luvi .
+```
+or
+```
+luvi . -- args
+```
+
+For example, if you were working on something to do with the `lit serve` command, your changes could be tested with:
+
+```
+luvi . -- serve
+```
+
 ## Running Tests
 
 Tests for the Lit libraries can be run via luvi:
