I was wondering about a git statement which I found in the requirements.txt file of one of my projects.
-e git+https://github.com/facebookresearch/densepose@35e69d110b432704c2183cd6aea531f4f695edbe#egg=Detectron
I don't really understand where this statement is pointing to.
Can someone please explain this to me?

This is pip-specific syntax for "editable" dependencies; it is not understood by git itself.
@hash lets you select a specific Git commit (similar to @rev in SVN URLs).
#egg=name lets you specify the project name that would otherwise be in requirements.txt (e.g. if a normal dependency was like MyProject==3.0 then the URL would need to have #egg=MyProject).

You mean where in the sense of which specific Git commit, or do you want to know about pip requirement formats? – slhck – 2019-11-03T13:57:29.653
@slhck I want to specifically know the meaning of the portion after the
@symbol.35e69d110b432704c2183cd6aea531f4f695edbe#egg=Detectronthis part. – sayamkanwar – 2019-11-03T13:59:45.5871
This isn’t about Git. It’s about requirements.txt.
