1The `ui` directory contains static files and templates used in the web UI. For
2easier distribution they are statically compiled into the Prometheus binary
3using the vfsgen library (c.f. Makefile).

5During development it is more convenient to always use the files on disk to
6directly see changes without recompiling.
7To make this work, remove the `builtinassets` build tag in the `flags` entry
8in `.promu.yml`, and then `make build` (or build Prometheus using
9`go build ./cmd/prometheus`).

11This will serve all files from your local filesystem.
12This is for development purposes only.
