name: initial-setup description: Sets up the development environment for GenVM repository. Use when setting up the repo for the first time or when dependencies need to be refreshed.

To set up the GenVM development environment:

1. Enter the Nix flake environment:

   Copynix develop .#full
   

2. Initialize git submodules:

   Copygit submodule update --init --recursive --depth 1
   

3. Source environment variables:

   Copysource env.sh
   

   This adds tools/git-third-party to PATH and sources .env if it exists.

4. Update third-party dependencies:

   Copy./tools/git-third-party/git-third-party update --all
   

   This updates wasmtime, wasm-tools, and applies GenVM-specific patches.

The repository will be ready for development with all dependencies properly configured.
