You could always point pip to the automatically generated zip (https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock/archive/master.zip). That way you won't have to wait for git to pointlessly download your entire version history when you just want to install something. 28.03.2016, 04:11, Nicholas Chammas kirjoitti:
Dunno how old/new this feature is, or what people did before it existed, but I just wanted to thank the people who thought of and built the ability to do installs from |git+https|.
It lets me offer the following to my users when they want the “bleeding edge” https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock#development-version version of my project:
|pip install git+https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock |
I also use this capability to install and test contributors’ branches when they open PRs against my project. For example:
|pip install git+https://github.com/contributor/flintrock@branch |
It’s a great feature and makes my work a bit easier. Thank you for building it.
I’m still waiting for when I can give the PyPA some money https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/856 for all the good and sorely needed work that y’all do…
Anyway, keep it up.
Nick
