add

Adds a Python package to this project. The command takes a PEP 508 requirement string but provides additional helper arguments to make this process more user friendly. For instance instead of passing git references within the requirement string, the --git parameter can be used.

If auto sync is disabled, after a dependency is added it's not automatically installed. To do that, you need to invoke the sync command or pass --sync. To remove a dependency again use the remove command.

new in 0.26.0

Added support for auto-sync and the --sync / --no-sync flags.

Example

Add the latest version of a dependency that is compatible with the configured Python version:

$ rye add flask
Added flask>=3.0.1 as regular dependency

Add a dependency but add an optional extra feature:

$ rye add flask --features dotenv
Added flask[dotenv]>=3.0.1 as regular dependency

Add a git dependency:

$ rye add flask --git https://github.com/pallets/flask
Added flask @ git+https://github.com/pallets/flask as regular dependency

Add a local dependency:

$ rye add packagename --path path/to/packagename
Added packagename @ file:///path/to/packagename as regular dependency
