-Then,

-To lint, run `flake8`
-To typecheck, run `mypy -p git` 
-To test, `pytest`

-Configuration for flake8 is in root/.flake8 file.
-Configuration for mypy, pytest, coverage is in root/pyproject.toml.

-The same linting and testing will also be performed against different supported python versions 
-upon submitting a pull request (or on each push if you have a fork with a "main" branch).
