Install the live HEAD of a branch (developer-only)

Installs the current live HEAD of the most recently updated branch for each requested package. This is a **developer-only** utility that deliberately bypasses the team `PIP_LOCK` manifest.

For reproducible team installs, use [pip_snapshot()] to create a lock manifest, then [init_metapip()] to install from it.

Usage

install_latest_branch(package = NULL)

Arguments

package

Character vector. One or more core PIP package names. If `NULL` (default), all core packages are installed.

Value

`NULL` invisibly. Called for its side effect of installing packages.

Behaviour

Packages already at the HEAD SHA of their latest branch are skipped with an informational message.

Warning

This function warns on entry that it bypasses the team lockfile.
