install private git repos

pipenv supports the format git+https://github.com/org/repo.... However, that will prompt me for a username and password. I expected it to support (as pip does) the form [e-mail]:org/repo.... However, trying this gives the error message

Invalid Requirement: git-url from above
It looks like a path. Does it exist ?

@gregwebs, forgive my hastiness here. You should be able to pass the -e flag but apparently that has been regressed. I’ll try to get this bundled into the 3.6.0 release.

For the time being, you’ll need to add an entry to your Pipfile in this format.

package_name = { git = '[e-mail]:org/repo/package_name.git', editable = 'true' }

For the perplexed (I sure were), I shall convert https://github.com/kennethreitz/pipenv/issues/313#issuecomment-293915992 into TOML syntax and extend it with a ref:

[packages.package_name]
git = "[e-mail]:org/repo/package_name.git"
ref = "a_branch_name_a_tag_or_commit_hash"
editable = "true"
