Yes, sure - it's a mirror, but take a look at original source [0][1]. I haven't found much information about "build & run" either.

Yes, it is but you are talking about "building" not "running", which is also important process in terms of development. Also, deduction (from source code) what kind of combination of commands might be is a no-go argument for many would-be contributors (I looking at few friends who fall in love in npm start), not saying it requires some experience in specific tooling (here, how to build C projects), which not everyone has.
