The knife serve subcommand is used to run a persistent chef-zero against the local chef-repo. (chef-zero is a lightweight Chef server that runs in-memory on the local machine.) This is the same as running the chef-client executable with the --local-mode option. The chef_repo_path is located automatically and the Chef server will bind to port 8900 by default. knife serve will print the URL for the local Chef server, so that it may be added to the knife.rb file.
