to the backend. These are places where the backend can find some entity descriptor
data to consume and serve.
To get started, you can issue the following after starting the backend:
To get started, you can issue the following after starting the backend, from inside
the `packages/catalog-backend` directory:
```bash
curl -i \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"type":"github","target":"https://github.com/spotify/backstage/blob/master/plugins/catalog-backend/fixtures/two_components.yaml"}' \
localhost:7000/catalog/locations
yarn mock-catalog-data
```
After a short while, you should start seeing data on `localhost:7000/catalog/entities`.
If you changed the `type` to `file` in the command above, and set the `target`
to the absolute path of a YAML file on disk, you could consume your own experimental data.
You should then start seeing data on `localhost:7000/catalog/entities`.
The catalog currently runs in-memory only, so feel free to try it out, but it will
need to be re-populated on next startup.
