pip install a local git repository
Question:
I can’t find the correct way to install a local directory as a python package using pip.

>>> import pipeline

As you can see pip just copied over the package to site-packages. How can I avoid this, and use the package directly from its source folder?
I’m trying to integrate django-pipeline into my Django project, but I want to add support for Django 1.4 first, so I forked and cloned my fork.
Answers:
I can also just use:
cd your-local-repo
pip install -e .
or
python setup.py install develop
If you’re working in a venv, you can do this:
env/bin/pip install git+file:///path/to/your/git/repo
Or with a branch:
env/bin/pip install git+file:///path/to/your/git/repo@mybranch
You can use pip or pipenv with the following command to install from a local git repo:
pip install git+file:///path/to/your/package#egg=package-name
Note that there are 3 slashes after file: here.
To install from a remote repo use:
pip install git+ssh://[email protected]:Username/Project.git
You can also specify a desired branch like so:
pip install git+ssh://[email protected]:Username/Project.git@master
I just rounded up the previous answers and comments from Quilt and nanounanue and this question. Also posted it here.
