pip install from github hash

When working with Python projects, you often need to install dependencies from various sources, including GitHub repositories. Sometimes, it's crucial to install a specific commit or version of a package to ensure compatibility with your project. This tutorial will guide you through installing a Python package from GitHub using pip with a specific commit hash.
Python and Pip:
GitHub Account:
Navigate to the GitHub repository of the package you want to install. Locate the commit hash you wish to install. You can find the commit hash in the commit history on GitHub or by running git log in the repository's local clone.
Open your terminal or command prompt and run the following command:
Replace username/repository with the actual username and repository name, and commit_hash with the specific commit hash you want to install.
This command will install the requests library at the specified commit hash.
Branches: If you prefer to install from a specific branch, you can replace the commit hash with the branch name.
Private Repositories: For private repositories, use the following format:
Replace username with your GitHub username and token with a GitHub personal access token that has the necessary permissions.
Now you know how to install Python packages from GitHub using pip with a specific commit hash. This can be particularly useful when you need to ensure reproducibility or when working on projects with specific version requirements.
