1. If you use Node Version Manager (nvm) you can run nvm use to ensure your current Node version is compatible.
2. Run npm run setup to get started. This will install a pre-commit Git hook that will lint changes to PHP files before they are committed. It uses the same phpcs ruleset that's used by WooCommerce Core.
