Contributor guide
Research direction
Start by reproducing the failure with the `pipreqs` command using a project that contains the non-UTF-8 input reported in the issue. Trace which input is decoded when the `UnicodeDecodeError` occurs, and consider the issue done when the command no longer fails unexpectedly or reports the problematic input clearly.
