lcl.host for Teams
Teams is a free-to-use feature that lets you create an Anchor Organization and setup your project with local HTTPS for all your collaborators. The entire team can enjoy local HTTPS in a seamless and consistent way.
Teams includes the following benefits:
- Org-wide Setup: Set up HTTPS in your local environment and have it work across your organization, seamlessly.
- GitHub Integration: Import your GitHub organization, and let the setup propagate to your entire team.
- Streamlined Setup Guide: We’ve revamped the setup guide, making it easier than ever to get going.
Overview
First, you need to do the initial setup:
- Create your organization
- Setup your project
- Invite your collaborators
Then, collaborators need to join:
- Accept the invite
- Run

from their own dev environment.
