How to add git source in requirements.txt

Question

I would like to install a certain package from a private git repository. This is possible using pip install git+<REPO_LINK> . However, I would like to pip install -r requirements.txt all of my packages at the same time without having to specify which one comes from Pypi and private repo.

I have tried adding a configuration in ~/.config/pip/pip.conf

[global]
find-links =
    git+<REPO_LINK>

but this happened when running pip install -r requirements.txt :

ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement my-package==0.1

Thanks in advance.

Answer 1

I have found a solution for it at this doc .

pip install git+<REPO_LINK>#egg=<PACKAGE_NAME>

When I run pip freeze , the package I have just installed is printed like this:

git+<REPO_LINK>#egg=<PACKAGE_NAME>

So running pip install -r requirements.txt runs like a charm to install this specific package so as public ones from Pypi.
