Python venv source

Within project directory run:

python3 -m venv my-env-name or could always make it hidden with:

python3 -m venv .my-venv-name

To start virtual env, run:

source my-env-name/bin/activate which integrates nicely with vscode, run deactivate to stop.

While working with git:

• ignore env from source control echo 'my-env-name' > .gitignore
• instead save requirements with pip3 freeze > requirements.txt

---

Install needed packages on another machine:

• cd to the directory where requirements.txt is located.
• activate your virtualenv.
• run: pip install -r requirements.txt in your shell.

---

When creating new branch right in vscode:

To push the current branch and set the remote as upstream, use

`git push --set-upstream origin branch-name`
