Since CockroachDB is open source, most of the instructions for hacking on CockroachDB live in this repo, cockroachdb/cockroach. You should start by reading the top level of this section of the wiki.
Then, look at our Go (Golang) coding guidelines and the Google Go Code Review guide it links to. These are linked to from the other pages in this wiki, but they're easy to miss. If you haven't written any Go before CockroachDB, you may want to hold off on reviewing the style guide until you've written your first few functions in go.
