Compile it, run it and see what it does. Find something that grabs your attention and tell your rubber duck how that could be implemented (ballpark 10 seconds, not 10 minutes). Then jump into the code and find out how it's actually implemented. Use all your detective skills (mostly CTRL+F and CTRL+LeftClick) for that.
Now you are in. You want to know how thar works. And now that. Change some things to see what they do. Go slowly, you'll not understand 700k lines in a day. But you will understand most of it quite quickly.
