## serve

Start an HTTP server to serve static files. By default, the current working directory will be used.

This command works well alongside [Stripe Samples](https://stripe.dev/samples),
so you can easily serve files from any local copy of a Sample.

**Command:** `stripe serve`

### Arguments

- `<base_path>`
  Path of the directory to serve files from.

### Flags

- `--port <port_number>`
  Port the HTTP server should use.

### Examples

**Basic Usage**

```sh
stripe serve ./sales-tax-sample
```

```
Starting stripe server at address http://localhost:4242
::1 - - [28/Jan/2022:14:00:00 -0800] "GET / HTTP/1.1" 200 175
