I have access to a git repo that implements a dependency that I'm using in my project. Naturally, this dependency is in my requirements.txt like this:
git+https://HASH@github.com/repowner/dependency_name.git@v0.1.4
It always worked fine, but recently I needed to make some changes in the dependency, so I opened a pull request and got it reviewed by my teacher (repo owner) before merging it. In this PR I also bumped the version, and did just like a previous PR(from another author). All I changed was a changelog file that is pure text and the setup.py:
setup.py
from setuptools import setup, find_packages
setup(
name="dependency_name",
version='0.1.5', #<<< Only changed this from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5
description="Desc",
license='...',
platforms=['OS Independent'],
keywords='...',
author='...',
url="https://github.com/repoowner/dependency_name",
packages=find_packages()
)
I assumed this was enough (as it was done like this before). I've updated my requirements.txt to:
git+https://HASH@github.com/repowner/dependency_name.git@v0.1.5
But now, when I try to pip install -r requirements.txt I get:
Collecting git+https://****@github.com/repoowner/dependency_name.git@v0.1.5 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))

Did I missed something when trying to bump the version?
BTW: If I try the 0.1.4 it installs without my recent changes.
You forgot to tag the PR/merge commit with v0.1.5 tag, as suggested by the error message:
WARNING: Did not find branch or tag 'v0.1.5', assuming revision or ref.
You can confirm this by listing existing tags with the command git tag.
To create and push the tag:
Use the command git log (you can add --pretty=oneline to get an easier-to-read output) and find the hash of your most recent commit that you would like to be included in the v0.1.5 tag/version
Create the new tag with the command git tag -a v0.1.5 <hash_of_your_commit>
Push the new tag with git push --tags
See git docs about basic usage of tags
