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?
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 /
.
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
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.
