pip install from github clone

In this tutorial, we will explore how to install Python packages using pip directly from a GitHub repository. This can be useful when you want to use the latest development version of a package or when the package is not yet available on the Python Package Index (PyPI).
Clone the GitHub repository of the Python package using the following command:
Change your working directory to the cloned repository:
Once you are inside the cloned repository directory, you can use pip to install the package. Run the following command:
The . at the end indicates the current directory, and pip install . will install the package from the local source.
If the package has additional dependencies, pip will attempt to install them automatically.
After the installation is complete, you can verify that the package is installed correctly by running a simple test script or checking the version:
Replace package_name with the actual name of the Python package.
If you want to install a specific branch or commit, you can use the following command:
Replace branch_or_commit_hash with the name of the branch or the commit hash you want to install.
That's it! You have successfully installed a Python package directly from a GitHub repository using pip. This method is particularly useful for testing bleeding-edge features or contributing to open-source projects.
