-In addition to the conda command to manage conda environment, mamba and

+Mamba and Micromamba magic commands
+~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
+
+In addition to the ``%conda`` magic command for calling ``conda`` in IPython,
+the ``%mamba`` and ``%micromamba`` magic commands now
+call ``mamba`` and ``micromamba`` if they are on ``sys.path``.
+
+.. code::
+
+   %mamba install pkgname
+   %micromamba install pkgname
+   %conda install pkgname
+   %pip install pkgname
+
+   %mamba --help
+   %micromamba --help
+   %conda --help
+   %pip --help    # works w/ JupyterLite
+   !pip --help
 
-These two magic require to have the corresponding commands available
-either in the conda environment or system wide.
