Pip: How to Install a Git Pull Request

pip: how to install a git pull request

You can add the exact commit to the URL by appending the hash:

pip install git+https://github.com/other-repository/project.git@remote_branch_name

example:

pip install --user git+https://github.com/d1b/pip.git@fix_pip_build_directory

Or to a single commit. But this does not get updated, if the pull request (remote branch) gets updated:

pip install --user git+https://github.com/d1b/pip.git@d89b5803db2b520e754b9b26b771d22121738637

Installing a pull git request with pip

The pull request is not part of graphql-python/graphene-django codebase yet; you have to install from the fork jayhale/graphene-django containing the commits. Choose the hash of the last commit in the pull request (looks like it's eafed16a167ffe8991226f224db33e5c8451a44b, commit message "Remove unsupported python & Django test cases") to install from:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/jayhale/graphene-django@eafed16a167ffe8991226f224db33e5c8451a44b

How to install an umerged pull request with pip?

The pull request is created from a git branch, so you can install the specific branch by:

pip install -e git://github.com/{ reponame path }.git@{ tag or branch name }#egg={ desired egg name }

in your case:

pip install -e git://github.com/hidmic/deap.git@py3#egg=deap

pip install from git repo branch

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 /.

Is it possible to use pip to install a package from a private GitHub repository?

You can use the git+ssh URI scheme, but you must set a username. Notice the git@ part in the URI:

pip install git+ssh://git@github.com/echweb/echweb-utils.git

Also read about deploy keys.

PS: In my installation, the "git+ssh" URI scheme works only with "editable" requirements:

pip install -e URI#egg=EggName

Remember: Change the : character that git remote -v prints to a / character before using the remote's address in the pip command:

$ git remote -v
origin  git@github.com:echweb/echweb-utils.git (fetch)
#                     ^ change this to a '/' character

If you forget, you will get this error:

ssh: Could not resolve hostname github.com:echweb:
         nodename nor servname provided, or not known

Install specific git commit with pip

You can specify commit hash, branch name, tag.

For the branch name and the tag, you can also install a compressed distribution. This is faster and more efficient, as it does not require cloning the entire repository. GitHub creates those bundles automatically.

hash:

$ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@2927346f4c513a217ac8ad076e494dd1adbf70e1

branch-name

With git

$ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@cool-feature-branch

or from source bundle

$ pip install https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification/archive/cool-feature-branch.tar.gz

tag

with git

$ pip install git+https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification.git@v2.1.0

or from source bundle

$ pip install https://github.com/aladagemre/django-notification/archive/v2.1.0.tar.gz

It is a not well-documented feature, but you can find more information at https://pip.pypa.io/en/latest/topics/vcs-support/
