+## Updating trakt dependency
+
+1. Update version in `trakt/__init__py`, commit, push it
+1. Add git tag, push it
+1. Run `pipenv install "trakt@https://github.com/glensc/python-trakt/archive/refs/tags/3.4.1.zip#egg=trakt"`
+1. Update trakt version manually in `requirements.txt`, `pipenv lock --requirements` loses the `trakt@` prefix
+
 ## Testing
 
 We use [pytest] for testing.
