If you have downloadedthesource code:

GitPython and its required package dependencies can be installed in any ofthefollowing ways, all of which should typically be done in a[virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html).

python setup.py install

or if you want to obtaina copy fromthe Pypi repository:

To obtain and installa copy[fromPyPI](https://pypi.org/project/GitPython/), run:

pip install GitPython

Both commands will install the required package dependencies.

(A distribution package can also be downloaded for manual installation at[the PyPI page](https://pypi.org/project/GitPython/).)

If you have downloaded the source code, run this from inside the unpacked`GitPython` directory:

A distribution package can be obtained for manual installation at:<http://pypi.python.org/pypi/GitPython>.

pip install.

If you like to clone from source, you can do it like so:

To clone the[the GitHub repository](https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython) from source to work on the code, you can do it like so:

git clone https://github.com/gitpython-developers/GitPython

git submodule update --init --recursive

cd GitPython

git fetch --tags

./init-tests-after-clone.sh

If you are cloning[your own fork](https://docs.github.com/en/pull-requests/collaborating-with-pull-requests/working-with-forks/about-forks), then replace the above`git clone` command with one that gives the URL of your fork. Or use this[`gh`](https://cli.github.com/) command (assuming you have`gh` and your fork is called`GitPython`):

gh repo clone GitPython

Having cloned the repo, create and activate your[virtual environment](https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/venv.html). Then make an[editable install](https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/local-project-installs/#editable-installs):

pip install -e.
