Homework

0. Remove existing pandas installation

```
pip uninstall pandas
```

1. Fork me!

2. Clone the fork to your PC.

3. Install pandas from source.

• cd into the clone and install the build dependencies.

  python -m pip install -r requirements-dev.txt
  

• Build and install pandas. (takes ~20 minutes on an i5 6200U with 8GB RAM)

  python setup.py build_ext --inplace -j 4
  python -m pip install -e .
  

Background

Work on pandas started at AQR (a quantitative hedge fund) in 2008 and has been under active development since then.

Chat with more pandas at Gitter.im!

Some Tips

• Documentation for reference purposes.

• rebase using git rebase upstream/master to pull in the latest from the upstream remote (which you have set to http://github.com/pydata/pandas.git)

Bad Trips

I accidentally rebased on origin/master. That was ~350 commits behind upstream/master !

Steps taken:-

> > – reverted HEAD to just before rebase > – merged upstream/master into origin/is_scalar > – updated origin/master to get NO diffs in upstream/master and origin/master > – ran git rebase origin/master and fixed a conflict in doc/source/whatsnew/v0.24.0.rst > – pushed to origin/is_scalar.
