General Setup
When setting up a new project, the first instantiation of a repository for the project must be done. This is done once per project. A project key is generated for each new project's first repository. This project key is propagated to all clones of this repository. If project keys do not match when trying to do updates between repositories the updates will fail. Because of this, use bk clone whenever you want to make copies of this repository and use setup only for the original repository.

You can setup a repository using the command line or graphical setup tool. For the command line:

cd ~/projects
bk setup dev-1.0

For the graphical tool:

cd ~/projects
bk setuptool dev-1.0
