install python package from github using requirements.txt

Whats the successful way to import packages from github repo?

Here is what I tried Tried Installing a python package- corepkg, which is available in git repository - git.example.com/corepkg.git

In another Project- Proj2, to import logic from above corepkg package, Kept an entry in requirements.txt and ran the following pip command.

pip install -r requirements.txt

Here are my Entries in requirement.txt for Proj2

...
PyYAML==3.12
requests==2.18.4
urllib3==1.22
git+https://git.example.com/corepkg.git@develop

But it did not create any src folder or .dist-info folder in virtual environment site-packages? It just created corepkg-1-py3.6.egg_info file but not files required to import.

Whats the step I am missing here to import it successfully from git?

Try

git+https://git.example.com/corepkg.git@develop#egg=corepkg

See https://pip.readthedocs.io/en/stable/reference/pip_install/#vcs-support

The problem also could be in the very corepkg.git repo so it's hard to say something without looking at the repo.
