+# Contributing
+Follow the steps below to develop and contribute to the project.
+
+## Requirements
+* Python 3.8 or higher
+* [Task] 3.38.0 or higher
+
+## Set up
+Initialize and update submodules:
+```shell
+git submodule update --init --recursive
+```
+
+## Linting
+Before submitting a pull request, ensure you’ve run the linting commands below and either fixed any
+violations or suppressed the warning.
+
+To run all linting checks:
+```shell
+task lint:check
+```
+
+To run all linting checks AND automatically fix any fixable issues:
+```shell
+task lint:fix
+```
+
+### Running specific linters
+The commands above run all linting checks, but for performance you may want to run a subset (e.g.,
+if you only changed C++ files, you don't need to run the YAML linting checks) using one of the tasks
+in the table below.
+
+| Task                    | Description                                              |
+|-------------------------|----------------------------------------------------------|
+| `lint:yml-check`        | Runs the YAML linters.                                   |
+| `lint:yml-fix`          | Runs the YAML linters and fixes some violations.         |
