如何设置Pycharm从Git存储库中的特定文件夹启动项目

Question

I am working on a Python project which is contained a few folders deep in my Git repo. eg

/home/userA/git_repo/product/utils/python_fwk/backend/my_project

Under this Git repo there are additional Python projects, belonging to other users.

When I start a new project and clone the Git repo, my project is set to start at /home/userA/git_repo/... , so now, when I import my packages into my code I need to:

from product.utils.python_fwk_backend.my_project.some_package.2nd_package import MyPackage

Since the python project is located under .../my_project I would like my imports to be as follows

from some_package.2nd_package import MyPackage

Answer 1

One way I found is to add additional content paths to the project.

Pycharm -> File -> Settings -> Project: YOUR_PROJECT_NAME -> Project Structure -> Add Content Root

Now add the path that matches the project path

/home/userA/git_repo/product/utils/python_fwk/backend/my_project

This requires to remove the initial Content Root Path

/home/userA/git_repo/product/utils/python_fwk/backend/my_project

because there can't be overlapping of paths.

Now I can import using the shorter path

from some_package.2nd_package import MyPackage
