venvs, but a little less annoying™
This is a super tiny shell script with a function that makes creating and using Python's venvs a little easier. Just run venv and you'll have a venv at .venv within your working directory, plus a .envrc file so that, thanks to the awesome direnv, every time you cd into the directory your venv will automatically be activated. It's pretty snazzy, even if a very minor quality-of-life thing.
-
First, make sure that you've installed direnv and hooked it into your shell.
-
Then, for the actual thing: you can either…
…copy the script to somewhere and add the following line to your .zshrc or .bash_profile or whatever applicable file
source ~/path/to/direnv-venv.sh…or you could be extra cool and use a plugin manager thingy like the really awesome sheldon, which I overenthusiastically love and highly recommend. In that case, add this to ~/.sheldon/plugins.toml:
[plugins.direnv-venv]
github = "jltml/direnv-venv"venv…that's it
I'm just realizing that this README is like three times longer than the function itself… haha
