Hello, How can I compile my project without wasting time deleting the file optimize / bundles and reorder: bin / kibana.bat? The compilation is very long and it irritates me... 😃 Regards, [gynidark.github.io](http://gynidark.github.io) ---

are you using a release or git repository clone ? if the latter, npm start should start kibana for you and recompile on every change. with the latest master that should be quite fast. ---

Every time I am forced to delete and optimize to have my new js / css... Here is a screen when I run npm start : ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/elastic/original/3X/e/2/e2f693510a0544f615b787280cbcc000b6161e2f.png) ---

so i guess you are starting from a release .... if you are modifying code i would really suggest to clone our github repository: `git clone https://github.com/elastic/kibana.git` then read the [contributing.md](http://contributing.md) (in that repo) to learn how to set up your dev environment. ---

nothing you can do with a build i am afraid. you could checkout our github repo of the exact version you are using `git checkout 5.0` ... and then bring the changes that you already did in ---
