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” 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 for all the good and sorely needed work that y’all do…

Anyway, keep it up.

Nick
