-# Contributing 🌳
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- make
-- node (required for pyright)
-- python >= 3.11
-
-## Getting started
-
-`make install` creates the dev environment with:
-
-- a virtualenv in _.venv/_
-- pyright in _node_modules/_
-- git hooks for formatting & linting on git push
-
-`. .venv/bin/activate` activates the virtualenv.
-
-The make targets will update the virtualenv when _pyproject.toml_ changes.
-
-## Usage
-
-Run `make` to see the options for running tests, linting, formatting etc.
