nimble setup -l enables project-local dependency mode, installs dependencies under nimbledeps/, and generates nimble.paths and nimble.develop.

Local Files

The repository uses config.nims to keep Nim build output in the local nimcache/ directory and to include nimble.paths when it exists.

These files and directories are local artifacts and should not be committed:

nimbledeps/
nimble.paths
nimble.develop
nimcache/
mix_ping

Clean Rebuild

To verify the project can be rebuilt from committed files:

rm -rf nimbledeps nimble.paths nimble.develop nimcache mix_ping
nimble setup -l
nim c -r mix_ping.nim

If nimble setup -l reports that it cannot determine the VCS revision, make at least one Git commit first, then rerun the command.
