I am just learning how to use GitHub, I want to download a python library to get the latest exchange rate between two currencies and I found one on GitHub. How would I download it and use it on pycharm?

If it is even a slightly popular library, it should have a PyPi page. Check the documentation or the README for any mention of
pip install <package_name>
If the above is not an option, then try this The repository link is probably something like:
https://github.com/<username>/<repo>.git
For this, open a terminal and run
pip install https://github.com/<username>/<repo>/archive/master.zip
Replace username and repo from the URL.
Example: For pandas, the URL is: https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas Running
pip install https://github.com/pandas-dev/pandas/arhcive/master.zip
should install pandas onto my system, but in the above case, as mentioned running pip install pandas should be enough as pandas is already published onto PyPi
