$ git clone https://github.com/syncthing/syncthing

For local development. Requires macOS + Homebrew. Clones the source, installs runtimes and databases via Homebrew, and runs the app natively — no containers.

# The sync protocol listens on 22000 over both TCP and QUIC (UDP), and local
# discovery uses 21027/UDP (docs: users/firewall.rst). QUIC is not its own
# protocol value, so the 22000/UDP entry declares the transport, not the QUIC
# layer on top of it. Discovery stays internal: it relies on broadcast/multicast,
# which Docker's default bridge network does not forward (upstream
# README-Docker.md "Discovery") — see G-9 in ../../GAPS.md.
