+Having cloned our Github repository to our local development machine we now set up some basic tooling that will help later as we develop our module.
+
+{{< youtube 8Qm0XJSWqYU >}}
+
+In this session we set up:
+
+* [`npm`](https://www.npmjs.com/), initialising our project.
+* [`husky`](https://typicode.github.io/husky/) to marshal our `git` hook scripts.
+* [`commitizen`](https://github.com/commitizen/cz-cli) to enforce standard `git` log messages.
+
+These tools provide some 'guardrails' on our project that, although they may seem onerous now, will pay dividends later by facilitating:
+
+* The production of consistent a changlog for our release notes (poviding users and other developers with timely and accurate details of what changes occur to our module).
+* Management of our release versioning.
+
+A few minutes of setup now will save hours over the life of our module.
