There is also the section in the docs for how to install a postgres instance
for source which will be handy:
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/devel/installation.html
For an environment to hack in I would recommend enabling debig and TAP style
tests, and personally I always install to a specific folder (see the section on
developer options):
./configure --enable-debug --enable-tap-tests --prefix=path/to/dev/install
Feel free to reach out here if you get stuck on anything, so we can make the
Wiki page better.
