How to add dependency

poetry add 'PACKAGE'

Ignore illegitimate warnings

To ignore illegitimate warnings you can add :

• # noqa: ERROR_CODE on the same line for ruff.

• # type: ignore[ERROR_CODE] on the same line for mypy.

• # pragma: no cover on the same line to ignore line for coverage.

• # doctest: +SKIP on the same line for doctest.
