Hatch allows you to specify direct references for dependencies in your
`pyproject.toml` file. This is useful when you want to depend on a package that
is not available on PyPI or when you want to use a specific version from a Git
repository.  Often used for unreleased packages, or unreleased versions of
packages.

dependencies = ['markata', 'markata-todoui@git+https://github.com/waylonwalker/markata-todoui']
