pip install -e ".[dev]"To release a new version:
make release bump=$$VERSION_PART_TO_BUMP$$The version format for this repo is {major}.{minor}.{patch} for stable, and
{major}.{minor}.{patch}-{stage}.{devnum} for unstable (stage can be alpha or beta).
To issue the next version in line, specify which part to bump,
like make release bump=minor or make release bump=devnum. This is typically done from the
master branch, except when releasing a beta (in which case the beta is released from master,
and the previous stable branch is released from said branch).
If you are in a beta version, make release bump=stage will switch to a stable.
To issue an unstable version when the current version is stable, specify the
new version explicitly, like make release bump="--new-version 4.0.0-alpha.1 devnum"
