What does "plug and play" a code base mean?

It can do following things when you provide your git URL

Provide A url of your repository

So really it does git clone ... && nvm use && npm install && npm run? But you want something with a GUI?

krishnasaga commented 5 years ago

In your command you did not specified yarn or npm version. And you downloaded nvm before executing the command. No proxy settings.

A novice can do with no commands. And start developing.

I'm just not sure people would use this. Wouldn't it be more useful as an IDE plugin, rather than a standalone GUI?

krishnasaga commented 5 years ago

IDE plugin is another option. But it is arguable as how many ide plugins. IMHO it worth to give a try and see how many people uses it.

Why would you want to specify the yarn version? I've never heard of a situation where you wouldn't simply want the newest version.

krishnasaga commented 5 years ago

I have an experience in past that a defect not reproducing due to latest version in developer machine.

Would this be a web app to run github js/node repos ?
