Install specific git commit with pip
It's possible to automatically install a python package using the requirements.txt file on you project just by adding the following line:
package-name -e git+https://github.com/owner/repository.git@branch_or_commit#egg={package-name}
and run the command line:
$ pip install -r requirements.txt
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/[email protected]
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/
An extra comment to @hugo-tavares's answer:
If it's a private GitHub repository, you'll need to use:
pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/....
In your case:
pip install git+ssh://[email protected]/aladagemre/django-notification.git@2927346f4c513a217ac8ad076e494dd1adbf70e1
