virtualenv shortcuts; useful on the CLI

README.md

Install Instructions

1. Put contents of virtualenv.sh in your ~.bashrc or ~.bash_profile
2. Run source ~.bashrc or source ~.bash_profle to make the new commands available.

Pre-requisite

1. Python 3 installed
2. pip3 install virtualenv

Usage in an Existing Project

With a requirements.txt file already available, you can run the following commands to get set up quickly.

1. vI - Initializes the virtualenv with python3. A venv folder is created. Only do this the first time.
2. vA - Activate the virtualenv. You'll notice (venv) prepended to your CLI prompt
   • All pip packages will be installed in a newly created venv folder.
   • This becomes your first step of the workflow if you've already initialized the environment.
3. vR - Install from requirements file.
4. vD - Deactivate the virtualenv. Do this when you're done. Or just close that terminal session.
