 A reminder for the maintainers on how to deploy.
-Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in CHANGELOG.md).
-Then run:
-
-```
-$ poetry run bump2version patch # possible: major / minor / patch
-$ git push
-$ git push --tags
-```
-
-GitHub Actions will then deploy to PyPI if tests pass.
+Make sure all your changes are committed (including an entry in CHANGELOG.md) and that all tests pass.
