pip install git repo with tag

When working with Python projects, you often need to install packages or libraries from Git repositories. The pip tool, which is the package installer for Python, allows you to install packages directly from a Git repository. In this tutorial, we will focus on installing a Git repository with a specific tag using the pip command.
Before you start, make sure you have the following:
Open your terminal or command prompt. This tutorial assumes you have a basic understanding of using the command line.
To install a Git repository with a specific tag using pip, you can use the following command:
Let's say you want to install a package from the requests library with version 2.26.0. You would use the following command:
This command installs the requests library from the specified Git repository using the tag v2.26.0.
After running the pip install command, it's a good practice to verify that the package was installed correctly. You can do this by importing the package in a Python script or the Python interactive shell.
This example assumes you installed the requests library. Replace requests with the name of the library you installed.
In this tutorial, you learned how to install a Python package from a Git repository with a specific tag using the pip command. This can be useful when you want to use a particular version of a library or when you are working with a project that depends on a specific commit or release. Keep in mind that not all repositories support installation via pip, and the repository must be publicly accessible.
