First of all, welcome to Airflow. This <https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/main/contributing-docs/README.rst> is the trimmed down quick start that Jarek mentions.
Nothing more to add, but Slack is the right place to start navigating your path by meeting like minded and Airflow loving people. A channel that you should watch out for when you start is: #new-contributors <https://apache-airflow.slack.com/archives/CCZRF2U5A>, you can ask any setup related, or contribution related qns there or on #airflow-breeze <https://apache-airflow.slack.com/archives/CQ9QHSFQX> if you end up choosing breeze as your development tool.
