Yup, I agree with you a 100%. I was first focussing on getting everything set up and then get some early signals as to whether this is a direction that we can go into in the first place, and because of that I didn't yet provide any docs. But based on your feedback I guess I should focus on exactly that as my next step. So I'll include docs in the next reroll that demonstrate everyday workflows in Git and how to do these with Meson. Thanks! Patrick
