"This is bad, because you need to run all the dependency installs", you must be using Python or one of the other locally cached dependency language tookings. Is never understood why people wanto clone everything every time. Maven and its sibling use ~/.m2 so everything gets cached once. I ceinge every time I have to re-download the universe when I inevitably have to delete my venv and redo anything, what a waste of time and bandwidth and space.
