auto-sklearn holds requirements.txt indexed from external file

lack of understanding in this approach

I do develop Python software, such as optimtool hosted on my repository, and if I don't need to clone a repository where the released software was used as a independent module for optimization and machine learning domain, then why stored requirements.txt which indexed from external file with the same name.

If users download auto-sklearn as a independent Python software to build pipelines, not to clone the whole repository from main, so how to verify the dependencies with requirements.txt which wrote ../requirements.txt, and this str do not automatically import the strs from external file, just seek the dependencies if the external file exists.

System Details (if relevant)

• The latest version in the main repository or already released.
