Contributing

This project uses Poetry for dependency management, and PoeThePoet for scripts. After checking out the repo, we recommend setting poetry's config to create the .venv in the root directory (note this is a global setting) and then installing with the dev and demos dependencies.

poetry config virtualenvs.in-project true
poetry install --with dev,demos

Checks

For a full list of available commands (e.g. test or typecheck), run this in your terminal (assumes the venv is active already).
