I've spend quite a bit of time to figure out why the repo wasn't working on my machine, before I realized I needed to init the git submodule. In hindsight, it was very obvious, because that submodule is the point of this entire repo. Nevertheless it would have helped a lot to have these instructions.
Also, i use IntelliJ, so i've added
.idea
to the gitignore.
