Update CONTRIBUTING.md to instruct commenting out multiple lines 
Need to comment out most of the lines so the `ui` folder symlink doesn't get removed and the `.sh` and `.bat` file changes don't get rolled back on next startup.

Hi there, these instructions are meant for the developers of this project.

If you only want to use the Stable Diffusion UI, you've downloaded the wrong file. In that case, please download and follow the instructions at https://github.com/cmdr2/stable-diffusion-ui#installation

Thanks

For developers:

Development environment for UI (frontend and server) changes

This is in-flux, but one way to get a development environment running for editing the UI of this project is: (swap .sh or .bat in instructions depending on your environment, and be sure to adjust any paths to match where you're working)

  1. git clone the repository, e.g. to /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-repo
  2. Download the pre-built end user archive from the link on github, and extract it, e.g. to /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive
  3. cd /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive and run the script to set up and start the project, e.g. start.sh
  4. Check you can view and generate images on localhost:9000
  5. Close the server, and edit /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive/scripts/on_env_start.sh
  6. Comment out the lines near the bottom that copies the files/ui folder, e.g:

for .sh

# rm -rf ui
# cp -Rf sd-ui-files/ui .
# cp sd-ui-files/scripts/on_sd_start.sh scripts/
# cp sd-ui-files/scripts/start.sh .

for .bat

REM @xcopy sd-ui-files\ui ui /s /i /Y
REM @copy sd-ui-files\scripts\on_sd_start.bat scripts\ /Y
REM @copy "sd-ui-files\scripts\Start Stable Diffusion UI.cmd" . /Y
  1. Comment out the line at the top of /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive/scripts/on_sd_start.sh that copies on_env_start. For e.g. @copy sd-ui-files\scripts\on_env_start.bat scripts\ /Y
  2. Delete the current ui folder at /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive/ui
  3. Now make a symlink between the repository clone (where you will be making changes) and this archive (where you will be running stable diffusion): ln -s /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-repo/ui /projects/stable-diffusion-ui-archive/ui or for Windows mklink /D \projects\stable-diffusion-ui-archive\ui \projects\stable-diffusion-ui-repo\ui (link name first, source repo dir second)
  4. Run the archive again start.sh and ensure you can still use the UI.
  5. Congrats, now any changes you make in your repo ui folder are linked to this running archive of the app and can be previewed in the browser.

Check the ui/frontend/build/README.md for instructions on running and building the React code.

Development environment for Installer changes

Build the Windows installer using Windows, and the Linux installer using Linux. Don't mix the two, and don't use WSL. An Ubuntu VM is fine for building the Linux installer on a Windows host.

  1. Install Miniconda 3 or Anaconda.
  2. Install conda install -c conda-forge -y conda-pack
  3. Open the Anaconda Prompt. Do not use WSL if you're building for Windows.
  4. Run build.bat or ./build.sh depending on whether you're in Windows or Linux.
  5. Compress the stable-diffusion-ui folder created inside the dist folder. Make a zip for Windows, and tar.xz for Linux (smaller files, and Linux users already have tar).
  6. Make a new GitHub release and upload the Windows and Linux installer builds.
