pixi add support for git source dependencies

[tdejager]

You want to be able to do something along the lines of:

pixi add " boltons @ https://github.com/boltons"

hi -
yes I'm looking to do something like this...

in my example I'm after
pixi add "aectemplater-client @ git+https://git@github.com/maxfordham/digitalschedules.git@0.18.13#subdirectory=packages/aectemplater-client"

where it is installing a package within a sub directory.

is there are way to specify this in the pixi.toml file?

Hey @jgunstone, the subdirectory is the directory within the git repo you're installing. Pixi will clone the repo into the cache and build a wheel from that directory (assuming you are talking about pypi packages for now), and then install it into your environment.

ok sounds good -
how do I specify it to do that in the pixi.toml?

looked here https://pixi.sh/latest/reference/pixi_manifest/#pypi-dependencies but didn't the example
