[QGIS-Developer] Developer Best Practice Suggestions

[C Hamilton]

I tried submitting my first QGIS core code submission. See

https://github.com/qgis/QGIS/pull/39655

As I was doing the pull request I found out that there were some scripts
that should have been run to check the coding style. Unfortunately, those
scripts are .sh scripts and I chose to develop on Windows using Visual
Studio and as far as I know there isn't a way to run the scripts.

I am on windows, but would I be better off to use something like virtualbox
and create a virtual linux development environment? I'm not as good with
linux because I haven't used it for over 10 years.

Is there still a way for me to use the Windows development environment, yet
make sure I'm able to run all the required scripts to do the checks?

How have you set up your QGIS development environment?

My code submission got a red flag with indentation so before I do anything
more I really need to figure out the best workflow for doing development.

Thanks,

Calvin
