Re: [Distutils] Thank you for the ability to do `pip install git+https://...`

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” 
 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 
 for all the good and 
sorely needed work that y’all do…


Anyway, keep it up.

Nick
