Run `just pip-compile`, which will add the dependency to `requirements.txt` 1. Run `just rebuild` to rebuild your Docker image to include the new dependencies 2. Run `just up` and continue with development ## Upgrading dependencies To upgrade all dependencies to their latest versions, run: 1. `just pip-compile-upgrade`. 2. Get the django version from requirements.txt and set the `DJANGO_VERSION` value in /justfile 3. Update the `--target-version` args value for django-upgrade in .pre-commit-config.yaml to match 3.
