@B-Sevchik in the current installation instructions, there's a bit that starts "Alternatively, you can clone the source code..." I would recommend making a new section starting at that point named "For developers" since the only folks who will clone the repo and install the package in editable mode are developers (not regular users).

installing if you want to contribute code (are a developer):
pip install -e .[all]

@B-Sevchik I just realized that the installation instructions for developers are in https://github.com/PennLINC/CuBIDS/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst. Maybe instead of duplicating those instructions in the installation guide you could just add a line linking to the contributors guide? Something like...

.. tip::
   If you want to modify the CuBIDS codebase
   (e.g., if you are looking to contribute to CuBIDS),
   please follow the installation instructions in
   `our contributing guidelines <https://github.com/PennLINC/CuBIDS/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.rst>`_.

Oh, okay got it, I'll edit the change I just made to link to those, thanks @tsalo !

Can you also update the contributing file to use miniforge instead of venv?

Yes, will do!

The changes are looking good, but I still see conda mentioned a few times where we probably want mamba. I also don't have the best handle on how miniforge and mamba are related. We might need to link to the mamba installation documentation as well. @smeisler does that sound right?

I'll go over it with @B-Sevchik a bit later

added some changes
