+After cloning your new repository, install the CodeQL pack dependencies:

+```
+
+This uses `codeql pack ls` to discover all packs in the workspace and runs `codeql pack install` for each one, generating `codeql-pack.lock.yml` files and downloading required dependencies locally. You can target a single language with `--language <lang>` (e.g., `--language java`).
