uv pip install --exclude-newer example (via) A neat new feature of the uv pip install
command is the --exclude-newer
option, which can be used to avoid installing any package versions released after the specified date.
Here's a clever example of that in use from the typing_extensions
packages CI tests that run against some downstream packages:
uv pip install --system -r test-requirements.txt --exclude-newer $(git show -s --date=format:'%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ' --format=%cd HEAD)
They use git show
to get the date of the most recent commit (%cd
means commit date) formatted as an ISO timestamp, then pass that to --exclude-newer
.
