Contributing instructions don't seem to work at all.

[Cyp]

When reporting this, it says: Also have a look at the Debugging guidelines: https://github.com/babel/minify/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md#debugging, but there is no debugging section on the page.

Describe the bug

The instructions at https://github.com/babel/minify/blob/master/CONTRIBUTING.md don't actually work.

To Reproduce

Try following the instructions. First git clone babel/babel, and build it, in case that helps with anything.

Then try git cloning babel/minify, and following the instructions.

$ make bootstrap
make: *** No rule to make target 'bootstrap'.  Stop.

Something actually happens if running npm run bootstrap && npm run build, though.

Then try using it.

'use strict';

require('@babel/core').transform('console.log("Hello world");', {presets: ['minify']});

Gives some error. Tried npm install. Then it instead gives:
Error: Cannot find module 'babel-preset-minify' from '~/git/babel/minify'

Then try

'use strict';

require('@babel/core').transform('console.log("Hello world");', {plugins: ['minify-mangle-names']});

which gives

Error: Cannot find module 'babel-plugin-minify-mangle-names' from '~/git/babel/minify'`
$ ls packages/babel-plugin-minify-mangle-names
lib  package.json  README.md  src  __tests__

Then try

'use strict';

require('@babel/core').transform('console.log("Hello world");', {plugins: ['./packages/babel-plugin-minify-mangle-names']});

which gives a different error Error: Cannot find module 'babel-helper-mark-eval-scopes'.

Then just give up, and report this as a bug.

Expected Output

'use strict';console.log("Hello world");

Possible solution

No apparent solution. It seems hopeless.

Sorry, it wasn't clear at the first place. I have fixed the debugging section link in #838

We have a dedicated docs folder that can help with setting up the project and running tests, benchmarks locally.

You would need to follow along the instructions for setting up the project locally here https://github.com/babel/minify/blob/master/docs/setup.md

Hope this helps.
