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.

(venv) C:\\(...)>pip install . --no-index
Ignoring indexes: http://p         


        

Answer 1

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
