Yeah, one repo, one vision! In an effort to simplify maintenance and compatibility between Underworld and UWGeodynamics, we have decided to merge the codes into a single  repository. Starting with version 2.13, UWGeodynamics will now live under Underworld. All UWGeodynamics functionalities and workflows will remain available to the users.

The Underworld Community has been supporting usage of Docker containers for developing and running Underworld powered scientific models. They provide a good option to control the running environment (dependencies). Docker container can be used for developing the code base but creating a suitable development workflow has proven challenging so far

The following is compatible with Ubuntu 20.04 under Windows 10/11 WSL 2 (Windows Subsystem for Linux). PETSc, the Portable, Extensible Toolkit for Scientific Computation is the main dependency required for building Underworld. In the following, I will describe my current workflow for configuring and installing PETSc on Linux.
