UV Advanced Dependencies
Quick reference for advanced dependency scenarios in UV projects.
When to Use This Skill
Use this skill when...
Use a focused sibling instead when...
Pinning a dependency to a git URL, branch, or tag, or installing in editable mode
Adding a normal PyPI dependency — use uv-project-management
Configuring [tool.uv.sources], dependency groups, extras, or custom indexes
Sharing source declarations across workspace members — use uv-workspaces
Setting up private package indexes or build-time constraints
Running an ephemeral script with --with deps — use uv-run
When This Skill Applies
Git repository dependencies
Local path dependencies
Editable installations
Dependency constraints
Custom package indexes
Dependency groups and extras
Build dependencies
