Have README.md point at CONTRIBUTING.md

Instead of duplicating information about how to build Pulumi from
source in both `README.md` and `CONTRIBUTING.md`, just have the
`README.md` point at `CONTRIBUTING.md`.

This repository does not actually create any real cloud resources as part of testing, but still uses Pulumi.com to store information abot some synthetic resources it creates during testing. Other repositories may require additional setup before running tests (most often this is just setting a few environment variables that tell the tests some information about how to use the cloud provider we are testing). Please see the `CONTRIBUTING.md` file in the repository, which will explain what additional configuration needs to be done before running tests.

Pulumi integration tests make use of the Go test runner. When using Go 1.10 or above, we recommend setting the `GOCACHE` environment variable to `off` to avoid
erroneously caching test results.
## Debugging

The Pulumi tools have extensive logging built in. In fact, we encourage liberal logging in new code, and adding new logging when debugging problems. This helps to ensure future debugging endeavors benefit from your sleuthing.

All logging is done using Google's [Glog library](https://github.com/golang/glog). It is relatively bare-bones, and adds basic leveled logging, stack dumping, and other capabilities beyond what Go's built-in logging routines offer.

The `pulumi` command line has two flags that control this logging and that can come in handy when debugging problems. The `--logtostderr` flag spews directly to stderr, rather than the default of logging to files in your temp directory. And the `--verbose=n` flag (`-v=n` for short) sets the logging level to `n`. Anything greater than 3 is reserved for debug-level logging, greater than 5 is going to be quite verbose, and anything beyond 7 is extremely noisy.

For example, the command

```sh
$ pulumi preview --logtostderr -v=5
```

is a pretty standard starting point during debugging that will show a fairly comprehensive trace log of a compilation.

## Development
## Contributing

If you'd like to contribute to Pulumi and/or build from source, this section is for you.
### Prerequisites
Pulumi is written in Go, uses Dep for dependency management, and GoMetaLinter for linting:
* [Go](https://golang.org/doc/install): https://golang.org/dl
* [Dep](https://github.com/golang/dep): `$ go get -u github.com/golang/dep/cmd/dep`
* [GoMetaLinter](https://github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter):
- `$ go get -u github.com/alecthomas/gometalinter`
- `$ gometalinter --install`
### Building and Testing
To install the pre-built SDK, please run `curl -fsSL https://get.pulumi.com/ | sh`, or see detailed installation instructions on [the project page](https://pulumi.io/). Read on if you want to install from source.
To build a complete Pulumi SDK, ensure `$GOPATH` is set, and clone into a standard Go workspace:
$ git clone git@github.com:pulumi/pulumi $GOPATH/src/github.com/pulumi/pulumi
$ cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/pulumi/pulumi
The first time you build, you must `make ensure` to install dependencies and perform other machine setup:
$ make ensure
In the future, you can synch dependencies simply by running `dep ensure` explicitly:
$ dep ensure
At this point you can run `make` to build and run tests:
$ make
This installs the `pulumi` binary into `$GOPATH/bin`, which may now be run provided `make` exited successfully.
The Makefile also supports just running tests (`make test_all` or `make test_fast`), just running the linter
(`make lint`), just running Govet (`make vet`), and so on. Please just refer to the Makefile for the full list of targets.
