python venv "activate.bat vs activate.ps1 vs deactivate.bat"

Question

I named my virtual environment .venv . I went into .venv/Scripts/ and there were activate.bat and Activate.ps1 . My guess is that I need to run activate.bat or Activate.ps1 to access the virtual environment, but I don't know the difference between activate.bat and Activate.ps1 .

And I want more. what is difference between activate.??? and deactivate.bat ? Also, why isn't deactivate.ps1 there?

And I am using powershell.

Looking on the inte.net, it says to use activate.bat , but they seem to use cmd. I want powershell.

Answer 1

ps1 is for powershell and bat is for cmd.
