463        example:
464            ./x.py run src/tools/bump-stage0

475x.py setup creates a `bootstrap.toml` which changes the defaults for x.py itself,
476as well as setting up a git pre-push hook, VS Code config and toolchain link.
477Arguments:
478    This subcommand accepts a 'profile' to use for builds. For example:
479        ./x.py setup library
480    The profile is optional and you will be prompted interactively if it is not given.
481    The following profiles are available:
482{}
483    To only set up the git hook, editor config or toolchain link, you may use
484        ./x.py setup hook
485        ./x.py setup editor
486        ./x.py setup link", Profile::all_for_help("        ").trim_end()))]
