castorini-onboard

To set up a Castorini development environment, you can use an automated onboarding flow that handles cloning, environment creation, dependency installation via uv or pip, and smoke-test verification for repos like nuggetizer, ragnarok, rank_llm, and umbrela.

Configuring multiple Castorini Python repos is best handled through a unified onboarding process that supports multi-repo setups, clone-if-needed functionality, and shared virtualenv reuse to speed up subsequent dependency installations across nuggetizer, ragnarok, rank_llm, and umbrela.

To verify your Castorini dev environment setup, the onboarding process includes built-in smoke-test execution and post-installation verification, ensuring that environment creation and dependency installation were completed successfully before you begin development.

Yes, you can reuse a shared virtualenv when onboarding to several Castorini repositories. The setup process automatically utilizes a shared virtual environment when available, significantly speeding up subsequent dependency installs across nuggetizer, ragnarok, rank_llm, and umbrela.

No, you do not need to manually clone repos before Castorini environment onboarding. The setup process features clone-if-needed functionality, automatically handling repository cloning for nuggetizer, ragnarok, rank_llm, and umbrela if they are not already present locally.
