Which scripts can I run from the following piece of package.json file without breaking anything? - material-ui

Question

I apologize in advance if my question is inappropriate. I want to contribute to Open Source projects in the future. I've cloned one repo (MUI) and It feels like I'm not ready to contribute for now even though I know what package.json is and what it does. However in this case the scripts section is pretty clunky and I'm a bit afraid of trying one of these scripts. Is there a way to run something like "npm start" in create-react-app so I could explore the project? I would really appreciate your help.

There is start command
"start": "yarn && yarn docs:dev"
You should be able to run yarn start in your console.
On the topic "what if you break something", well its cloned local copy, so what... just delete it and clone it again if you need to.
