Prefect Community

It seems you're trying to connect the dots in the Prefect universe. Here's some guidance on connecting Prefect UI's LocalRepository to your Prefect HQ dev server:

1. First, ensure that you have <https://github.com/npm/cli|npm> installed, as it's required for Prefect UI development.
2. Start a development UI that reloads on code changes by running the following command in your terminal:
```
prefect dev ui
```
3. To build the static UI (the UI served by `prefect server start`), run:
```
prefect dev build-ui
```
4. Configure your Prefect Server by setting the API URL in your terminal session:
```
prefect config set PREFECT_API_URL="<http://127.0.0.1:4200/api>"
```
5. If you're running Prefect inside a container (e.g., Docker), you must set the API Server address. You can save the API server address in a <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/concepts/settings/|Prefect profile>.

For more information, refer to the <https://docs.prefect.io/latest/contributing/overview/|Prefect documentation>.

I hope this helps you connect the pieces. Good luck, and may the force of Prefect be with you.
