The developer console is a tool that can be enabled in General Settings ("enable dev console"). Once enabled, you can bring it up in a match by pressing BACKQUOTE key on the keyboard (F1 on a Mac), and type in/enter commands.
There are various commands that can be used for testing, experimentation and troubleshooting. In addition, some commands can have arguments (follow the command with a space and then the argument).
For example, one argument that applies to any command is "q" which instructs to quit the developer console after running the command, so running die q in the console will result in killing yourself and then exiting the console.
The developer console can be opened in any match, offline or online, but for online matches, only a subset of commands are supported, to prevent cheating.
Note: the command list will grow over time, and not everything will be documented all the time.
