Allow installing pip modules (requirements.txt) from repo #111

Closed ibotty closed 2 years ago

ibotty commented 2 years ago

Description / Summary

It would be great if sphinx-autobuild could install modules from requirements.txt automatically and when the file changes.

Value / benefit

I am offering development-containers running in a cloud for people writing documentation. Apart from the known issues it works great. But installing sphinx modules via pip is not as easy for them.

You can do this with a pre-build command. This is done by passing --pre-build to sphinx-autobuild.

sphinx-autobuild --pre-build "path/to/venv/bin/pip install magic" ...
