Azure function import module from azure repos

Question

Is it possible to import a module into an azure function straight from another git azure repos?

Instead of having the folder structure proposed at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/azure-functions/functions-reference-python#folder-structure

 __app__
 | - my_first_function
 | | - __init__.py
 | | - function.json
 | | - example.py
 | - my_second_function
 | | - __init__.py
 | | - function.json
 | - shared_code
 | | - my_first_helper_function.py
 | | - my_second_helper_function.py
 | - host.json
 | - requirements.txt
 | - Dockerfile
 tests

and using something like

from ..shared_code import my_first_helper_function

to import a module, I would like to keep all shared_code in a separate git repository and import from there.

pip supports installing from version control which you can leverage directly. Note that your build system would require permission to the git repo if its private.
