### Contribution

In order to contribute to this package:

```bash
cd ingestion-core
python -m virtualenv venv
source venv/bin/activate
python -m pip install ".[dev]"
```

> OBS: During development we might need to treat this in a different
  virtual environment if we are yet to update the reference to the core
  package in `openmetadata-ingestion`.
