There is no such thing as rev matching a bump start... just select top gear and the quick hard-release & butter feed the clutch pedal.
The hard release kicks the engine alive, then before it revs right up you got to release the clutch enough to make the further revving up go smooth.

It is a skill I was proud of having mastered, but now I get no chances anymore to keep honing it. One of the drawbacks of trading in a manual for an automatic
