VirtualEnv - 我应该忽略 venv 文件夹吗？

Question

I am starting to understand the advantages of virtualenv. Now, I have created virtualenv folder named venv by doing virtualenv venv .

Now my question is, Is it useful to push this folder to github or should I add it to .gitignore ?

Answer 1

You should add it to gitignore file. Then, you should create requirements.txt file and populate it with the packages you have installed. Then, on your production server, create the virtual environment and run pip install -r requirements.txt .
