README: add note about initvm create --devel #404

Closed hnez closed 3 months ago

hnez commented 3 months ago

It is not immediately obvious (to a new user) that the ELBE version inside of the virtual machine differs from the one running on the host, because the version inside the VM is by default installed from debian.linutronix.de, while the one on the host may come e.g. from a more recent git checkout.

This can result in a whole slew of issues, either due to the ELBE version inside the virtual machine being incompatible with the one outside of it or because one is trying to fix an issue but the changes do not show any effect.

Add a hint about --devel to the README, where users using a git checkout may find it first.

Also use single backticks to make commands in the README appear as Monospace.
