Build Library

Prerequisite: make sure that you give your Operating System user the right to modify files in the python directory. The directory where pyhton is installed. Use python setup.py bdist_wheel to create the dist, build and .eggs folder.

Reference from a different project

In order to use your own version of the project - to maybe contribute to the library - simply clone the code from github into new directory. Then add the path of that new directory to the requirements.txt file of your project. Then change in tks-essentials whatever you recommend to improve. Don't forget the Open-Closed Principle: extend only (unless it requires a breaking change)

Releasing a new version

This is entirely executed with Github Actions.
