Went to see what this does. I think it might tell me? But it's unveiling the info as though the docs are generated in real time, one token at a time. For all I know, they might be? Anyway, I bounced. Ain't nobody got that kinda attention oh look a squirrel

There's a coherent description of what the product is at https://www.producthunt.com/products/gitarsenal?comment=5026... - the linked website is too fancy for me to make sense of. Can't throw stones though, our one confuses me too.

Shame to see it's all Nvidia tech. If you want it on AMDGPU as well I've got that part of the stack running. Can probably do something collaborative.

Does it help agents set up development environments?

This is confusing as mostly the problem has been solved - suboptimally but "well enough" - by a patchwork of solutions every repo builds over time:

1. README.md - which agents can read and follow just fine. And they can debug the problems and if you ask, they can update the README so the next agent (or human) can follow the README with less trouble.

2. Dependency versions can be pinned in Dockerfile to avoid dependency hell.

3. Version pinning is supported by project.toml, Gemfile, package.json etc. as well. And all the major languages offer per-directory isolated dependency environments (uv/venv, nvm, rvm, chruby, etc.) So even non-containerized dev has no dependency hell.

4. Secrets for the "dev DB" etc. can be stored in a password vault or wiki. Which agents can access via a browser or curl, given your credentials - or else you can copy-paste them over.

Most crucially, development environments are only set up once when starting work on a new codebase. As rarely as once every few years.

Can you explain what's unsolved?

It doesn't really explain where the environment runs, it's not clear if I have to configure something like GCP/AWS or if GitArsenal handles all this (and how much it costs if so)
