 ## How to become a contributor and submit your own code
 
+### Environment setup
+
+It is recommended to use filter to manage the GitHub email notification, see [examples for setting filters to Kubernetes Github notifications](https://github.com/kubernetes/community/blob/master/communication/best-practices.md#examples-for-setting-filters-to-kubernetes-github-notifications)
+
+To install development dependencies you can use `pip install -r tests/requirements.txt`
+
+#### Linting
+
+Kubespray uses `yamllint` and `ansible-lint`. To run them locally use `yamllint .` and `./tests/scripts/ansible-lint.sh`
+
+#### Molecule
+
+[molecule](https://github.com/ansible-community/molecule) is designed to help the development and testing of Ansible roles. In Kubespray you can run it all for all roles with `./tests/scripts/molecule_run.sh` or for a specific role (that you are working with) with `cd roles/my-role && molecule test`
+
+#### Vagrant
+
+Vagrant with VirtualBox or libvirt driver helps you to quickly spin test clusters to test things end to end. See [README.md#vagrant](README.md)
