>> 1. Could you please tell me about the development environment you've used while building the current version of the project as It'll help me understand all the files better.

>> 2. In the .editorconfig <https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/blob/master/.editorconfig> file you have specified all the configurations for the editor, so do we have to follow that strictly or we can change that according to our own preferences? Please also tell me about the editor you used.

>> 3. I'm not able to understand the contents of .eslintignore <https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/blob/master/.eslintignore> file and for what it is used?
>> 4. I think .eslintrc.json <https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/blob/master/.eslintrc.json> file is corresponding to the configuration that we have to include when setting up ESLint, so do we have to strictly abide by that or can we explore additional configuration and then later add it in the .eslintrc.json <https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/blob/master/.eslintrc.json>  file?
> 
> You should look up https://eslint.org <https://eslint.org/> and as mentioned above you must adhere to the coding style. You can propose changes to the coding style if you like, but adoption will affect everyone working on the project. 
> 
>> 5. In the .gitignore <https://github.com/GPII/gpii-chrome-extension/blob/master/.gitignore> file, It's suggesting to ignore .nyc_output folder, so is this the same folder that corresponds to the .nycrc file in the root directory?
> 
> Yes, those are related to output of reports from the testing.

The last I checked, macOS only allowed virtualized macOS instances to run on Apple hardware. If it isn’t something you can do, and you still want to work on this project make sure to mention that as part of your proposal and ensure that the scope and breadth of your work is sufficient for the time.
