How to turn off browser-sync in --release?

I would like to add a flag or modify yarn start -- --release to start RSK without browser-sync. It is a big dependency and I would like to turn it off in production.

Can anyone point me in the right direction?

I believe the only place that Browser-Sync is referenced directly is in ./tools/start.js

  // Launch the development server with Browsersync and HMR
  await new Promise((resolve, reject) => browserSync.create().init({
    // https://www.browsersync.io/docs/options
    server: 'src/server.js',
    middleware: [server],
    open: !process.argv.includes('--silent'),
    ...isDebug ? {} : { notify: false, ui: false },
  }, (error, bs) => (error ? reject(error) : resolve(bs))));

Browsersync is not used for production. To run the production build you need:

$ yarn run build -- --release    # compile app in release mode
$ node build/server.js           # run the production server

However if you want to remove Browsersync from development server (yarn start) then you need to replace lines mentioned above with something like this:

server.listen(3000, () => {
  console.info('The development server is running at http://localhost:3000/');
});
