Update ramanchada2

What would be the proper way to update ramanchada2 from github using the terminal?

TL;DR: git pull

There are multiple aspects.

User's local changes

The user needs to make sure all local changes made to git-tracked files are committed, stashed or preserved in other way. If local changes are no longer needed one can reset HEAD to the last state by git reset --hard. --hard option should be used with caution! It discards all local changes that are not commited

Obtain last version from git

Once the working directory is clear, the last version can be obtained by:

git checkout main
git pull

Python environment

Python packages can be installed as regular packages or in editable mode. Usually preferred method for development is the editable mode -- pip install --editable . ran from the ramanchada2 directory. In this mode changes to local files lead to immediate changes to the library -- no reinstallation is needed.

Jupyter kernels

Once a Jupyter kernel is configured with the virtual environment, no other changes are needed. Just restart the kernel and run the notebook cells again.
