Hey! I struggled somewhat with the lack of documentation around what is referred to once in the README as a Seed Project.

It is not elaborated on in the README whether or not creating the Seed Project is part of this repo's scope (though to someone with an understanding / experience of bootstrapping I'm sure this is obvious).

I think the documentation would be clearer if it:

  • provided a minimal working example of a Seed Project in the GLOSSARY
  • referred to the Seed Project as the users' rather than 'the Seed Project'.

Summary of Changes

Hello @sambilbow, I'm Gemini Code Assist1! I'm currently reviewing this pull request and will post my feedback shortly. In the meantime, here's a summary to help you and other reviewers quickly get up to speed!

This pull request enhances the documentation by providing clearer guidance on the "Seed Project" concept. It addresses previous ambiguities by adding a practical gcloud command example for creating a Seed Project and refining the language in the README to emphasize the user's ownership of this project, ultimately making the setup process more straightforward for new users.

Highlights

  • Documentation Clarity: Clarified the relationship between this repository and the concept of a "Seed Project" to improve user understanding.
  • Seed Project Example: Added a minimal working example in the GLOSSARY for how to create a Seed Project using gcloud CLI commands.
  • Terminology Refinement: Updated the README to refer to "your existing Seed Project" for better user-centric language.

Code Review

This pull request aims to clarify the concept of a 'Seed Project' by updating the documentation. The changes in README.md make it clearer that the seed project must already exist. The addition of a minimal working example in docs/GLOSSARY.md is a great idea. I've provided a couple of suggestions to improve the clarity and correctness of the documentation changes. Specifically, I've pointed out a grammatical error and a non-functional code example that should be corrected to avoid confusion for users.
