Good one.
One more use case that people in industry uses like this way. When we have some common utility library on git being used by many other applications.
Different application use the tag to install their dependencies for different versions of this common utility library.

Keep up the good work 👍

when you install it with the -e, I see it doesn't install it in the site-packages but in src/. My question is if there are changes in the repo, how does the local installation to pull the new changes. How and how often does it check the version is up to date.

I'm very new to all this and last week was having problems getting certain packages to install on AWS (they installed fine on my PC) using my requirements.txt file. Does anyone have any tips? I realise I haven't gone into detail here :)

I wonder if telling pip to update the package still works with this? I imagine it would, if you used the editable style

Good morning, I want to download a wallet from github and install it on my Linux (Ubuntu), can I do it that way too?
Because the wallet worked on Windows before the Windows Update and is now only possible on Linux.
Thanks in advance!
