How can I know which commit was used when installing a pip package from git?

Question

If I install a package from git using https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#git does the specific commit that was checked out logged somewhere?

Answer 1

It is not. If you just want to know — lookup the commit at the head of the installed branch. If you want to install a specific commit — name the commit. For example:

pip install git+https://github.com/sqlobject/sqlobject.git@623a5802#egg=sqlobject
