Why can’t you ask people to directly install from GitHub repo and skip publishing on PyPI? Curious to know.

You can, but it's not nearly as nice and it also builds the package from source instead of installing a pre-built binary which can be a lot slower.

Building from source will be slower, but GitHub allows you to publish a package as a well.

Does pip support installing that? Can you specify dependencies in `pyproject.toml` to be binaries from GitHub?

Genuinely asking.
