Install package with pip from specific branch of github

问题

I have across a very weird issue. I try to pip install a package from my github fork. I have done this multiple times in the past and it works always.

This is what I do:

pip install git+https...@my_branch

While this works perfectly in my local machine, when I try to w Windows Remote machine and to my Ubuntu Vagrant box it doesnt work.

Instead of installing the package with my_branch, it installs the master branch. Initially I thought it was related with an outdated version of pip but after upgrading to the latest version, I keep facing the same issue.

Any ideas whats the problem?

Maybe some characters like the @ character are not recognized properly in your command in other environments? Try putting quotes, like this: pip install "git+https...@my_branch"

Suppose you have forked some git repo and made some changes. To install this specific branch:

1. Release a new version from your branch and add a version tag, like v1.0
2. Run pip install -e git+https://github.com/your_user_name/repo_name@v1.0#egg=repo_name in the terminal
