There are different trade-offs between using the online editor or CLI:
| Online editor | CLI | |
|---|---|---|
| Installing | No | Yes (e.g. SDK) |
| Editing | Browser | Your preferred editor |
| Testing | Run tests on website | Run tests locally |
| Debugging | Limited support (only for some tracks) | Full support (depending on your environment) |
In general, the online editor is ideal for starting new tracks, whereas the CLI-based approach is great if you want to use your own, personalized coding environment.
