Running a branch

With PIP

.. code-block:: bash

pip install git+https://github.com/{user}/{repo}.git@{branch}

E.g.:

.. code-block:: bash

pip install git+https://github.com/ranaroussi/yfinance.git@feature/name

With Git

1: Download from GitHub:

.. code-block:: bash git clone https://github.com/{user}/{repo}.git pip install -r ./yfinance/requirements.txt

Or if a specific branch:

.. code-block:: bash git clone -b {branch} https://github.com/{user}/{repo}.git pip install -r ./yfinance/requirements.txt

.. NOTE:: Only do the next part if you are installing globally

If you are installing for 1 specific project, then you can skip this step
and just `git clone` in the project directory

2. Add download location to Python search path

Two different ways, choose one:

1. Add path to PYTHONPATH environment variable

2. Add to top of Python file: .. code-block:: python import sys sys.path.insert(0, "path/to/downloaded/yfinance")

3: Verify

.. code-block:: python import yfinance print(yfinance)

Output should be:

<module 'yfinance' from 'path/to/downloaded/yfinance/yfinance/__init__.py'>

If output looks like this then you did step 2 wrong

<module 'yfinance' from '.../lib/python3.10/site-packages/yfinance/__init__.py'>
