    Document the steps to setup dev environment in your own words and highlight the issues that you run into

    Lots of people are commenting saying they have problems with this.

    The first thing I do when working on an unfamiliar project is to write a SHELL SCRIPT that records everything I did. I keep that at the root of the git repo, usually as "run.sh".

    For example here is what I did when hacking on Kernighan's awk 5 years ago:

    https://github.com/andychu/bwk/blob/master/run.sh

    So now 5 years later I can see exactly where I got the files from. And I usually count how much source code there is in a repo to get a feel for it, and I have that exact command.

    And I was trying to figure out how much test coverage there is, so I ran a bunch of gcov stuff, which involve Python.

    The shell script may not work now, but the point is that I can tell within 10 seconds what I did 5 years ago.

    So basically I suggest becoming SHELL LITERATE and checking in shell script with comments. (You can also use a Makefile, but shell is less prescriptive about its model and has fewer gotchas. Make has all the gotchas of shell plus some more.)
