Installation instructions have you installing mismatched versions #861
Description
Description
pip install --upgrade jupyterlab jupyterlab-git installs backend version 0.23.3
jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/git installs frontend version 0.30.0b1
When you install the two extensions this way and then open JupyterLab you get a message telling you that the two versions are not the same and to run pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git to fix it:
But the pip install --upgrade jupyterlab-git command also installs the 0.23.3 version. So this isn't a viable solution. The only way for me to get matching versions was to run pip install jupyterlab-git==0.30.0b1 (and I'm assuming we regular users don't want to be running beta versions, right? I couldn't figure out how to install the 0.23.3 frontend version, so I'm stuck using both beta versions for now).
Reproduce
After running pip install --upgrade jupyterlab jupyterlab-git you can then run pip list to check the version of the backend version (and in this case see that it is version 0.23.3).
After running jupyter labextension install @jupyterlab/git you can then run jupyter labextension list to check the frontend version (and in this case see that it is version 0.30.0b1).
Expected behavior
When I ran those initial commands to install the extensions I expected both versions to match and to not have to troubleshoot why my versions weren't matching.

Not sure additional context is needed, but happy to provide if so!
