How to setup environment to contribute to sqlglot project?

[sunrutcon]

Can you provide some hints, steps on how to setup environment/toolchain to work on sqlglot project?
I would like to try to make some PR-s, and would like to know some best practices from contributors.

Hey @sunrutcon 👋

I'd start by cloning the project and creating a venv (python -m venv .venv) inside the project directory. Then you can install the dev. dependencies using make install-dev and start hacking away. I usually iterate by making changes, then running make style to catch any linter errors and finally make unit to run the test suite. Prior to opening a PR you can run make test to ensure the integration tests also pass.

Feel free to reach out in Slack to let us know if you plan to contribute or need further assistance. Thanks!
