Configuring so that pip install can work from github

Question

We d like to use pip with github to install private packages to our production servers   This question concerns what needs to be in the github repo in order for the install to be successful   Assuming the following command line  which authenticates just fine and tries to install    pip install git ssh   git github com BlahCo search tree prod release branch ProductName   What needs to reside in the ProductName   Is it the contents of what would normally be in the tar file after running setup py with the sdist option  or is the actual tar gz file  or something else   I m asking here because I ve tried several variations and can t make it work   Any help appreciated

Clone target repository same way like you cloning any other project:

git clone [email protected]:myuser/foo.git

Then install it in develop mode:

cd foo
pip install -e .

You can change anything you wan't and every code using foo package will use modified code.

There 2 benefits ot this solution:

You can install package in your home projects directory.
Package includes .git dir, so it's regular Git repository. You can push to your fork right away.

You need the whole python package  with a setup py file in it  A package named foo would be  foo   the installable package  -- foo         --   init   py         -- bar py  -- setup py  And install from github like    pip install git ssh   git github com myuser foo git or   pip install git https   github com myuser foo git v123 or   pip install git https   github com myuser foo git newbranch  More info at https   pip pypa io en stable reference pip install  vcs-support

I had similar issue when I had to install from github repo  but did not want to install git   etc   The simple way to do it is using zip archive of the package  Add  zipball master to the repo URL         pip install https   github com hmarr django-debug-toolbar-mongo zipball master Downloading unpacking https   github com hmarr django-debug-toolbar-mongo zipball master   Downloading master   Running setup py egg info for package from https   github com hmarr django-debug-toolbar-mongo zipball master Installing collected packages  django-debug-toolbar-mongo   Running setup py install for django-debug-toolbar-mongo Successfully installed django-debug-toolbar-mongo Cleaning up      This way you will make pip work with github source repositories

If you want to use requirements txt file  you will need git and something like the entry below to anonymously fetch the master branch in your requirements txt   For regular install   git git   github com celery django-celery git   For  editable  install   -e git   github com celery django-celery git egg django-celery   Editable mode downloads the project s source code into   src in the current directory  It allows pip freeze to output the correct github location of the package
