How to install a local PyPI-style package from different git branches in pixi.toml?

[BloomingStone]

Hi,

I’m wondering if it’s possible to configure pixi.toml so that when installing a local PyPI project, I can specify a different git branch or version.

For example, I know that for remote repositories on GitHub, I can do something like:

[pypi-dependencies]
my-package = { git = "https://github.com/org/my-package.git", rev = "version-id" }

But for a local path dependency, e.g.

[pypi-dependencies]
my-package = { path = "../my-package" }

I don’t see a way to tell pixi to use a specific branch of that local repo.
Of course, I can cd ../my-package && git checkout branch-name, but I’m curious:

Is there a way to make pixi automatically check out the correct branch when resolving dependencies?

Or is this only supported when the package is remote (GitHub) but not when using local path installs?

Thanks in advance!

as far as I know this is unsupported
