The jupyter lab --watch process won't automatically recompile the extension typescript sources, it instead watches the built JS. So you still need to watch or recompile the extension for JupyterLab to pick up the changes.

Thanks for the review, @ian-r-rose! What would you recommend then? jupyter lab --watch --dev-mode? Or another step for recompilation?

Not --dev-mode (which will run JupyterLab from master without extensions). Instead we can start a watch process in the jupyterlab-github directory (jlpm run watch), which will recompile the extension at the same time as the jupyter lab --watch process is going on, which will then pick up the changes to the compiled sources.
I noticed that there is no
Developmentsection in the README.md file. This PR attempts to fix it (based on jupyterlab-google-drive and a little on ipysheet).
