README.md Outdated
If you've never contributed to a git repository before on this laptop or environment, you might receive an error message saying you don't have access. In that case visit [this tutorial](https://docs.github.com/en/authentication/connecting-to-github-with-ssh/about-ssh) to set up SSH for local GitHub access.
After cloning the code, we need to set up our IDE: VSCode. If you already have it, great. Otherwise follow [this](https://code.visualstudio.com/download) tutorial. We recommend installing the mypy and autoDocstring VSCode extensions. Our autoDocstring settings are `Docstring Format: Numpy` and `Start On New Line: Start docstring on new line`.
After cloning the repository build the workspace and install the dependencies.
