### RUNNING TESTS

-_Important_: Right after cloning this repository, please be sure to have
-executed `git fetch --tags` followed by the `./init-tests-after-clone.sh`
-script in the repository root. Otherwise you will encounter test failures.

On _Windows_, make sure you have `git-daemon` in your PATH. For MINGW-git, the `git-daemon.exe`
exists in `Git\mingw64\libexec\git-core\`.

-Configuration for flake8 is in the `./.flake8` file.

-Configurations for `mypy`, `pytest`, `coverage.py`, and `black` are in `./pyproject.toml`.
