There don't appear to be requirements files anymore, so I assume that the optional-dependencies is the intended replacement - not sure how these intersect requirements_dev_minimal and requirements_dev_numpy but these appear to be the minimal ones to run the tests and build the docs!

We are using hatch now to manage our development environments. I think we should replace the virtual env directions with instructions on how to use hatch.

It looks like there's been a src/tests split since this was written, so the original recommendation no longer applies. This should work and be portable, but feel free to replace with whichever incantation is preferred!

I didn't see pytest-doctestplus listed anywhere in the optional dependencies, and I don't know what else may have been in requirements_dev_optional.

I'd be pro putting this in the test dependencies section, and then not having any optional dependencies for testing? That way it's a bit simpler.
