Adding github dependency

In the docs (https://poetry.eustace.io/docs/cli/#add) I see that you can add git dependency but when I tried this I got an error.

I’ve run this command poetry add --git https://github.com/karantan/ansible@v2.6.0.1 ansible and I got the following error:

So how can I install my ansible package that is tagged with v2.6.0.1?

Seems like the syntax is actually supposed to be poetry add ansible --git https://github.com/karantan/ansible.

There no difference.

Im still trying to figure out how to specify the tag or a sha.

Unfortunately, there’s no way to do it via CLI, but you can manually add an entry into your pyproject.toml like this:

[tool.poetry.dependencies]
python = "^3.6"
ansible = { git = "https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git", branch = "devel" }
# or
ansible = { git = "https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git", tag = "v2.6.6" }
# or
ansible = { git = "https://github.com/ansible/ansible.git", rev = "e5664c4" }

It should work.

The add command will be improved in the next 1.0.0 release (see https://github.com/sdispater/poetry/pull/1221). For instance, to use the original example, it will now be possible with the following syntax:

poetry add git+https://github.com/karantan/ansible.git@v2.6.0.1
