Installing Private Python Packages Hosted on GitHub
Overview
Use pip and virtual environments to install private python packages hosted on GitHub.
Workflow
Installing packages
Add the package to either requirements-to-install.txt or requirements.txt:
git+https://github.com/johnf1004/my_package.git
Install with pip:
$ pip install -r requirements-to-install.txt --upgrade
At this point, validation errors will be displayed if GitHub credentials haven't been configured.
Configuring GitHub credentials
Install the GitHub CLI.
$ brew install gh
Enter credentials:
$ gh autho login
At this point pip should be able to install from the private repo.
