Discussion on: What are some good questions to ask when you're inheriting a codebase?

Things such as:

• What are the steps I need to take to get this running on my machine?
• What does the deployment strategy look like? (PR for new features/fixes, Commit styles, build steps)
• What is the role of testing in this project?
• Where do you keep track of issues?
• Do you have a code style guide? (code rules)

Just some stuff to quickly write code in the same way as the current maintainers.
