If you ever need to serve your current directory via http for some reason, here's an NPM module solution

1~$ yarn global add serve

And run this (it's automatically added to ~/.bashrc or equivalent on your shell):

1export PATH="$HOME/.yarn/bin:$HOME/.config/yarn/global/node_modules/.bin:$PATH"

and run

1~$ serve

or

1~$ serve <the_folder_name>

Then access http://localhost:3000 (but depending on what's shown on screen)
