Doc, CONTRIBUTING.md has incorrect pip install -e ... command at Step 6 in Your first code contribution section

The bad one:

$ pip install -e .[dev]    
zsh: no matches found: .[dev]

$ python -m pip install -e .[dev]
zsh: no matches found: .[dev]

The good one:

$ pip install -e '.[dev]'

$ python -m pip install -e '.[dev]'
