Merging contributor PR into Tweepy installation

Question

I am trying to upload videos using the Tweepy Python library, but the official version doesn't currently support it.

That said, there is a side branch created by a contributor that has added the functionality. The branch is ready for merging with the main branch, but there's no ETA. I need to implement this as soon as possible.

How can I merge this PR into my current Tweepy installation (via pip) so I can use this function?

This is the PR in question: https://github.com/tweepy/tweepy/pull/929

Use pip's Git installation feature. pip install git+https://github.com/conversocial/tweepy.git@video_upload2

Would this replace Tweepy as my primary installation? Would I need to invoke this library differently in my application? Also how would I undo this installation when the official Tweepy includes this functionality? – theGreenCabbage Aug 08 '20 at 02:07
@theGreenCabbage this will replace your normal installation, you can do `pip install --upgrade --force tweepy` to revert back to the main installation. – Epic Programmer Aug 08 '20 at 02:08
