1. create a Makefile in the project

autoformat:
	isort --atomic -rc myproject/ tests/	
	black myproject/ tests/
	docformatter --in-place --recursive myproject tests

lint:
	isort -c -rc myproject/ tests/
	black myproject/ tests/ --check
	flake8 myproject/ tests/

test:
	pytest

test-cov:
	pytest --cov=./ --cov-report=xml

docs:
	sphinx-build -b html docs/source/ docs/build/html/

docs-check:
	sphinx-build -b html docs/source/ docs/build/html/ -W

livedocs:
	sphinx-autobuild -b html docs/source/ docs/build/html/

dev:
	pip install black isort flake8 docformatter pytest-cov sphinx-rtd-theme nbsphinx recommonmark pre-commit

all: autoformat lint docs test

2. use the Makefile

# install dev requirements
make dev

# lint against PEP8 using isort, black and flake8
make lint

# autoformat code against PEP8 using isort, black and docformatter 
make autoformat

# generate docs using sphinx
make docs

# generate live docs
make livedocs

# run unittests using pytest
make test
