Python setuptools: How can I list a private repository under install_requires?

Question

I was trying to get this to work for installing with pip, but the above was not working for me. From [1] I understood the PEP508 standard should be used, from [2] I retrieved an example which actually does work (at least for my case).

Please note; this is with pip 20.0.2 on Python 3.7.4

setup(
    name="<package>",
...
    install_requires=[
        '<normal_dependency>',
         # Private repository
        '<dependency_name> @ git+ssh://git@github.com/<user>/<repo_name>@<branch>',
         # Public repository
        '<dependency_name> @ git+https://github.com/<user>/<repo_name>@<branch>',
    ],
)

After specifying my package this way installation works fine (also with -e settings and without the need to specify --process-dependency-links).
