How to include git branch in installing from requirements in Python?

Hi I need to install from a branch of a git repo. I want to include it on the requirements.txt so that it would install using the command pip install -r requirements.txt

What I know is how to install from master branch (See git ssh entry below):

This is my requirements.txt

networkx==2.4
numpy==1.18.1
opencv-python==4.2.0.32
scipy==1.4.1
git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/project/project-utils.git

What if I want to install from a specific branch namely 1-fix-test on ssh://git@gitlab.com/project/project-utils.git.

How do I include the branch name with the ssh address?

Solution

  • According to the document, you can add branch name or commit hash after @:

    git+ssh://git@gitlab.com/project/project-utils.git@1-fix-test
