Generating metadata for package public-repo produced metadata for project name main.

[cikay]

I am trying to install directly from GitHub by the following command

pipenv install -e git+https://github.com/cikay/public_repo.git@main#egg=public_repo

I got

  WARNING: Generating metadata for package public-repo produced metadata for project name main. Fix your #egg=public-repo fragments.
Discarding git+https://github.com/cikay/public_repo.git#egg=public-repo: Requested main from git+https://github.com/cikay/public_repo.git#egg=public-repo has inconsistent name: expected 'public-repo', but metadata has 'main'
ERROR: Could not find a version that satisfies the requirement public-repo (unavailable) (from versions: none)
ERROR: No matching distribution found for public-repo (unavailable)

When I specify egg=main It installs. Why I have to specify package name as the same with the branch name?

@cikay -- when I specify egg=main it still fails to install -- I think there may be a lack of definition in your setup.py.

What kind of lack?

[cikay]

I did not specify the name in the setup function. It should be like this setuptools.setup(name="publicrepo")

Thanks. I will close the issue.
