ticker-util: A new utility to manage your ticker metadata

[Red S]

Would you like Beancount to know more about the commodities in your portfolio?

At a basic level, did you know that when you hover over a ticker in Fava, it displays the ticker’s full name, which is obtains from the name: metadata of the ticker’s commodity declaration? At a more advanced level, can you discover relationships between tickers in your portfolio (equivalent funds, substantially similar ones, TLH partners) based on an incomplete, minimal, manual specification?

Fava Investor now includes "ticker-util", a command line utility that does all this. It uses yfinance in the backend (which downloads data from Yahoo Finance), and generates your commodity declarations to put inside your beancount sources.
