pip install from github - what is going wrong

Question

I have a repository that I want to install from GitHub/GitLab using SSH.

pip install git+ssh://git.corp.com/my_group/my_project.git

However, this fails with the error of: it looks like a path file does not exist.

However, according to documentation it should work pip install from git repo branch https://pip.pypa.io/en/stable/topics/vcs-support/ what am I doing wrong and overlooking?

Are you able to clone this repo? it might be private / requires VPN / etc. — Yevhen Kuzmovych, Feb 27 '23 at 14:13
Is there a punctuation mark between "path" and "file" in the error message? I would expect there must be a period: "It looks like a path. File does not exist". — Dima Chubarov, Feb 27 '23 at 14:14
yes clone works. a `:` needs to go there - but also the @git as pointed out below — Georg Heiler, Feb 27 '23 at 21:20

I guess your syntax is missing the git@ part:

pip install git+ssh://git@git.corp.com/my_group/my_project.git

Without git@ pip is probably unable to recognize a URL and looks for a file with this name instead.
