+# Development Notes
+
+When running with `debug_assertions` enabled `rgr` will write its log file to `rgr.log` in the current working directory.
+
+Thus, it's fairly straightforward to use a development flow with two terminals:
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 1
+# This follows and displays `rgr`'s logs
+tail -f ./rgr.log
+```
+
+```bash
+# Terminal 2
+# This builds and runs `rgr` in debug mode with logging enabled
+RUST_LOG=trace cargo run -- <rg args>
+```
