13. Developing hypnotoad

When installing from the source code git repo for development, it is recommended to do an editable install

$ pip install --user -e .

This method means the installed modules and command line tools link to the source code, so reflect changes you make, and avoids a possible error if the repo has uncommitted changes (is ‘dirty’) where git diff fails to run on the installed code. Note, if you use conda make sure all the dependencies (see pyproject.toml) are already installed to avoid them being pip-installed and messing up dependency tracking.
