   Went through this process today. It wasn't clear where to start exactly, so I started with breeze and went [through the following setup](https://github.com/apache/airflow/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.rst#step-2-configure-your-environment) on Mac OS. I came across a lot of the issues you outlined as well and basically spent a large amount of time just trying to get all the dependencies installed.
   
   The [kind/helm setup](https://github.com/apache/airflow/tree/master/chart#walkthrough-using-kind) seems like it might have been a lot quicker in hindsight, but I wanted to go through the process outlined in the contributing doc.
   
   Do any of the contributors use a docker-based workflow when making development contributions, or is it mainly the breeze setup? I am comfortable with docker so naturally lean towards containerised workflows like the ones you outlined. However, if I want the least path of resistance when making contributions to airflow, is it best I persevere with the breezy setup?
