Python – pip Install from Git Repo Branch

gitpippython

Trying to pip install a repo's specific branch. Google tells me to

pip install https://github.com/user/repo.git@branch

The branch's name is issue/34/oscar-0.6 so I did pip install https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@/issue/34/oscar-0.6 but its returning a 404.

How do I install this branch?

Best Answer

Prepend the url prefix git+ (See VCS Support):

pip install git+https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@issue/34/oscar-0.6

And specify the branch name without the leading /.

Python – Configure pip install to Work from GitHub

You need the whole python package, with a setup.py file in it.

A package named foo would be:

foo # the installable package
├── foo
│   ├── __init__.py
│   └── bar.py
└── setup.py

And install from github like:

$ pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/myuser/foo.git
or
$ pip install git+https://github.com/myuser/foo.git@v123
or
$ pip install git+https://github.com/myuser/foo.git@newbranch
