 ## Basic Checks
 
+```sh
+# We currently rely on nightly-only formatting features
+cargo +nightly fmt --all
+cargo check --all --all-targets --tests 
+cargo clippy --all --all-targets --tests
+# Please note that this will not execute integration tests.
+cargo test --all --all-targets --tests

+### \[Optional\] Run Integration Tests
+
+_Caution: These tests are taking a long time to complete (40+ mins) and need special setup._
+
+```sh
+ bash ./scripts/dev_cli.sh tests --integration -- --test-filter '<optionally filter test by name pattern>' 
+```
+
+### Setup Commit Hook
+
 Please consider creating the following hook as `.git/hooks/pre-commit` in order
 to ensure basic correctness of your code. You can extend this further if you
 have specific features that you regularly develop against.
