Description
Installing from VCS example says, that python3 -m pip install -e SomeProject @ git+https://git.repo/some_pkg.git command should install package in editable mode from VCS.
Tested on Mac Ventura 13.1, on both python versions 3.12 and 3.11:
python3.12 -m venv env12
. env12/bin/activate
python3.12 -m pip install --upgrade pip
> Requirement already satisfied: pip in ./env12/lib/python3.12/site-packages (24.0)
python3 -m pip install -e aiomisc @ git+https://github.com/aiokitchen/aiomisc.git
> ERROR: Invalid requirement: '@'
