+Workspace setup
+---------------
+
+* Create a virtual Python environment: `make venv`
+* Use the virtual environment: `. .venv/bin/activate`
+ * Deactivate the environment when you're done: `deactivate`
+* Make sure unit tests work: `make test/unit`
+
+Development
+-----------
+
+* Run unit tests: `make test/unit`
+* There're three integration tests: `local`, `docker` and `example`.
+Run them using
+
+ make test/local
+ sudo make test/docker
+ make test/example
+
+ * The `example` test uses the forges' APIs and might easily hit rate
+limits.
+Set environment variables described in [examples/cgitize.toml] to use "access
+tokens" and get much higher rate limits.

+* Upgrade base Docker images.
