activate virtualenv in git bash using pycharm on windows

just write this command line in your virtual environment file:

. Scripts/activate

The correct answer appears to be in the comment added by @Touten.

This is actually just a display issue - the venv is activated, but it doesn't display the usual (venv) tag in the terminal. This can be confirmed by calling which python and seeing that is displays the venv's python.

Alternatively, you can follow the answer by @Nikki-Aaron to disable automatically activating the venv. Then you can activate it using source venv/Scripts/activate and it will show the tag in the terminal.

There is a setting in File > Settings > Terminal for "Activate virtualenv". This works for cmd shell, but seems not to work with bash in Windows 10. If I uncheck that setting, 'source venv/Scripts/activate' activates as expected.

There is a python package called pipenv.

It can be installed easily by entering pip install pipenv command. Then start using it by executing the following command:

pipenv shell

It automatically creates a new virtual environment.

Freezing the packages is as simple as:

pipenv lock -r > requirements.txt
