You could always point pip to the automatically generated zip (https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock/archive/master.zip). That way you won't have to wait for git to pointlessly download your entire version history when you just want to install something.

Dunno how old/new this feature is, or what people did before it existed, but I just wanted to thank the people who thought of and built the ability to do installs from |git+https|.

It lets me offer the following to my users when they want the “bleeding edge” <https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock#development-version> version of my project:

|pip install git+https://github.com/nchammas/flintrock |

I also use this capability to install and test contributors’ branches when they open PRs against my project. For example:

|pip install git+https://github.com/contributor/flintrock@branch |

It’s a great feature and makes my work a bit easier. Thank you for building it.

I’m still waiting for when I can give the PyPA some money <https://github.com/pypa/warehouse/issues/856> for all the good and sorely needed work that y’all do…

Anyway, keep it up.

Nick
