pip install from git repo branch

Question

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?

Answer 1

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 / .

Answer 2

Using pip with git+ to clone a repository can be extremely slow (test with https://github.com/django/django@stable/1.6.x for example, it will take a few minutes). The fastest thing I've found, which works with GitHub and BitBucket, is:

pip install https://github.com/user/repository/archive/branch.zip

which becomes for Django master:

pip install https://github.com/django/django/archive/master.zip

for Django stable/1.7.x:

pip install https://github.com/django/django/archive/stable/1.7.x.zip

With BitBucket it's about the same predictable pattern:

pip install https://bitbucket.org/izi/django-admin-tools/get/default.zip

Here, the master branch is generally named default. This will make your requirements.txt installing much faster.

Some other answers mention variations required when placing the package to be installed into your requirements.txt . Note that with this archive syntax, the leading -e and trailing #egg=blah-blah are not required, and you can just simply paste the URL, so your requirements.txt looks like:

https://github.com/user/repository/archive/branch.zip

Answer 3

使用ssh 凭据从私有仓库安装的说明：

$ pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/myuser/foo.git@my_version

Answer 4

Just to add an extra, if you want to install it in your pip file it can be added like this:

-e git+https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@issue/34/oscar-0.6#egg=django-oscar-paypal

It will be saved as an egg though.

Answer 5

This worked like charm:

pip3 install git+https://github.com/deepak1725/fabric8-analytics-worker.git@develop

Where :

develop: Branch

fabric8-analytics-worker.git : Repo

deepak1725: user

Answer 6

You used the egg files install procedure. This procedure supports installing over git , git+http , git+https , git+ssh , git+git and git+file . Some of these are mentioned.

It's good you can use branches, tags, or hashes to install.

@Steve_K noted it can be slow to install with "git+" and proposed installing via zip file:

pip install https://github.com/user/repository/archive/branch.zip

Alternatively, I suggest you may install using the .whl file if this exists.

pip install https://github.com/user/repository/archive/branch.whl

It's pretty new format, newer than egg files. It requires wheel and setuptools>=0.8 packages. You can find more in here .

Answer 7

For windows & pycharm setup:

If you are using pycharm and If you want to use pip3 install git+https://github.com/...

• firstly, you should download git from https://git-scm.com/downloads
• then restart pycharm
• and you can use pycharm terminal to install what you want

Answer 8

to me your suggestion from question work eg

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

translating concretely to doing

pip install -U git+https://github.com/moskomule/anatome.git@dev

worked. Perhaps remove the extra / is redundant. My output:

0.6.0 is the dev branch version number and 0.5.0 is the master, so it worked!
