 There are several places that have the same kind of documentation for
 setting up a local dev environment. These exist in various degrees of
 completeness and quality. There is also a crossover of docs in regards to
 testing/contributing. It would be great to see if we can combine these
 efforts and create one central place for documentation for setting up a
 local dev environment + testing instructions.

 Here is an example from the Block Editor Handbook:

 Issue in relation to testing pull requests:
 https://github.com/WordPress/gutenberg/issues/25202

 Here is an example from a post on P2:

 Documentation we can easily update showing methods for WordPress core and
 Gutenberg. A document for setting up a local dev environment, and a
 document for testing trac tickets as well as Gutenberg Github pull
 requests.

 Having an easy to follow step by step hand holding method with some short
 explanations and some troubleshooting tips would be a huge help to people
 at various skill levels. Making it easy for developers and non developers
 to follow.
