Hi Chris, thanks for writing this! The way you are specifying the branch / commit is incorrect though. Your example should look like this: "<packagename>@git+<url-to-repo>@<branch or hash>#egg=<packagename>".

@chris - please do update your doc with the corrected syntax that JannKleen mentions. It took me quite a bit of digging around to get to the corrected syntax. TBH the #egg= piece seems redundant, at least I didn't need to use it. The syntax shown here worked for me: https://github.com/alanbuxton/django-neomodel/blob/d524f028dcb84b779d35f9ea0ba405b55e756764/pyproject.toml#L36

@alanbuxton I had to add .git to get it to work

dependencies = [
<packagename>@git+<url-to-repo>.git@<branch or hash>

I spoke to soon... adding .git to the repo url isn't really needed, I had conda package mess up the git dep when i was trying to figure it out..

these formats seem to work which is what @alanbuxton mentioned

<packagename>@git+<url-to-repo>@<branch or hash>
<packagename>@git+<url-to-repo>@<branch or hash>#egg=<packagename>

this post seems to explain #egg a bit more https://stackoverflow.com/a/55526482/7573470
