 # Contributing
 
-Collection of notebook for research and e2e testing of client libraries.
-
-* Check in MyST markdown files only
-* To convert a `.ipynb` file into a valid markdown format
-  * Activate Command Palette from the `View` menu or `Ctrl-Shift-C`
-  * Search for `Pair Notebook with MyST Markdown`
-
-## What is MyST?
-
-MyST stands for "Markedly Structured Text". It
-is a slight variation on a flavor of markdown called "CommonMark" markdown,
-with small syntax extensions to allow you to write **roles** and **directives**
-in the Sphinx ecosystem.
-
-For more about MyST, see [the MyST Markdown Overview](https://jupyterbook.org/content/myst.html) or [the Jupyter Book documentation](https://jupyterbook.org) for more information.
-
+Welcome to `quantflow` repository! We are excited you are here and want to contribute.
 
+## Getting Started
 
-## Sample Roles and Directivs
+To get started with quantflow's codebase, take the following steps:
 
-Roles and directives are two of the most powerful tools in Jupyter Book. They
-are kind of like functions, but written in a markup language. They both
-serve a similar purpose, but **roles are written in one line**, whereas
-**directives span many lines**. They both accept different kinds of inputs,
-and what they do with those inputs depends on the specific role or directive
-that is being called.
-
-Here is a "note" directive:
-
-```{note}
-Here is a note
+* Clone the repo
+```
+git clone git@github.com:quantmind/quantflow.git
+```
+* Install dev dependencies
+```
+make install-dev
+```
+* Run tests
+```
+make tests
+```
+* Run the jupyter notebook server during development
+```
+make notebook
 ```
 
-It will be rendered in a special box when you build your book.
-
-Here is an inline directive to refer to a document: {doc}`markdown-notebooks`.
-
-
-## Citations
-
-You can also cite references that are stored in a `bibtex` file. For example,
-the following syntax: `` {cite}`holdgraf_evidence_2014` `` will render like
-this: {cite}`holdgraf_evidence_2014`.
-
-Moreover, you can insert a bibliography into your page with this syntax:
-The `{bibliography}` directive must be used for all the `{cite}` roles to
-render properly.

-This is just a simple starter to get you started.
-You can learn a lot more at [jupyterbook.org](https://jupyterbook.org).
+### Documentation
 
-```{code-cell} ipython3
+The documentation is built using [Jupyter book](https://jupyterbook.org/en/stable/intro.html) which supports an *extended version of Jupyter Markdown* called "MyST Markdown".
+For information about the MyST syntax and how to use it, see
+[the MyST-Parser documentation](https://myst-parser.readthedocs.io/en/latest/using/syntax.html).
 
+To build the documentation website
+```
+make book
 ```
+Navigate to the `notebook/_build/html` directory to find the `index.html` file you can open on your browser.
