pip install github editable

In this tutorial, we will explore how to use pip to install a Python package from a GitHub repository in editable mode. Installing a package in editable mode allows you to make changes to the source code, and those changes will be reflected in your Python environment without the need for reinstalling the package.
Before we begin, make sure you have the following prerequisites:
First, you need to clone the GitHub repository of the package you want to install. Open a terminal or command prompt and run the following command, replacing repository_url with the actual URL of the GitHub repository:
For example:
Change your current working directory to the cloned repository:
Now, you can use pip to install the package in editable mode. Run the following command:
The -e flag stands for editable, and . refers to the current directory. This command installs the package in editable mode, and any changes you make to the source code will be immediately reflected in your Python environment.
You can verify that the package has been installed correctly by importing it in a Python script or interactive shell:
Let's consider a practical example with a hypothetical GitHub repository named example_package:
Now, you can use the example_package in your Python scripts or projects.
You have successfully installed a Python package from a GitHub repository in editable mode. This allows you to modify the package's source code and see the changes in real-time without the need for reinstallation. Keep in mind that this approach is useful for development and testing purposes but might not be suitable for production environments.
