            Bug ID: 793166
           Summary: Please explain how to use the gst-build uninstalled
                    environment
    Classification: Platform
           Product: GStreamer
           Version: unspecified
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Normal
         Component: gst-build
          Assignee: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: nh2 at deditus.de
        QA Contact: gstreamer-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
     GNOME version: ---

I got very confused by
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-build/tree/c938c7591612b511cabfcf0b1788b10021186bf1#uninstalled-environment

Nothing in those docs indicated that I should call the script with the name of
my shell as the first argument, e.g. `./gst-uninstalled.py bash` or
`./gst-uninstalled.py zsh`, to get into the development environment.

Even though that program uses python's `argparse` CLI parser, it doesn't
indicate in the help text, or in the linked README, that this should be done.

I only got the idea of how to use it by reading the code here:
https://github.com/GStreamer/gst-build/blob/c938c7591612b511cabfcf0b1788b10021186bf1/gst-uninstalled.py#L230

Please add it to the docs and to the argparse `--help` output, thanks!
