I don't understand how this makes me ready to submit pull requests. Can you explain a little more?
This: pip install -e third-party-foo-lib should be the same as: pip install -e git+https://..../@mydevbranch#egg=third-party-foo-lib And the information needed to build the URL (in above example git+https://..../@mydevbranch) should be provided by setup.py. Result: you have an editable checkout. You are right, pull requests most often need a fork first. This is far out of scope. But for custom (non public) projects hosted in a corporate lan, you get a ready-to-push checkout. Is this enough explanation? Please ask if you have further question.
