You shouldn’t develop on a live site.

You develop locally, package the changes in a Theme Component or plug-in and then deploy to the live site.

Here’s an example of a rake task in a plugin:

> **[discourse-chatbot/lib/tasks at main · merefield/discourse-chatbot](https://github.com/merefield/discourse-chatbot/tree/main/lib/tasks)**
>
> main/lib/tasks
