+## DEVELOPER GUIDE
+
+Here are some commands that will help with development. Say you need to move files to the TRE and they compiled within
+the container, you can easily copy files to your local file system. 
+
+First, exit the container with `exit` then:
+
+> docker cp <container_name>:<path_inside_container> <local_path>
+
+For example, this command will copy the `buff.iff` file to a local directory called `ServerFiles` on the Desktop of my
+Window's machine. NOTE: For Windows, surround the <local_path> with quotes.
+
+> docker cp swg:/swg-main/data/sku.0/sys.shared/compiled/game/datatables/buff/buff.iff "C:\Users\username\OneDrive\Desktop\ServerFiles"
