pip install from git repo branch

Question

Trying to pip install a repo's specific branch. Google tells me to

pip install https://github.com/user/repo.git@branch

The branch's name is issue/34/oscar-0.6 so I did pip install https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@/issue/34/oscar-0.6 but its returning a 404.

How do I install this branch?

Answer

Prepend the url prefix git+ (See VCS Support):

pip install git+https://github.com/tangentlabs/django-oscar-paypal.git@issue/34/oscar-0.6

And specify the branch name without the leading /.

How do I force Git to use LF instead of CR+LF under Windows?

How do I fix "remote: fatal error in commit_refs" errors trying to push with Git?
