At its core, GitHub is βjustβ a hosting service for Git repositories. You can clone the Django repository (git clone https://github.com/django/django.git
) and then checkout that specific commit (git checkout 08c9ab5a0f564a3ac7803e6a97fae855f2e0524e
). You can install it with pip install -e https://github.com/django/django.git
(to put it in site-packages) or pip install -e /path/to/django
(if you want it somewhere else).
On top of that, GitHub has tons and tons of features that make the life of a collaborating developer a lot easier.
