Hi, why do you have migrations in your .gitignore file?

Hi, why do you have migrations in your .gitignore file?

if you are working on the git and sometimes you get a lot of git issues due to migration conflicts in development. It's not recommended for production.

opeerator commented Aug 12, 2020

Migration files are part of the code base and should be committed.

Hello @opeerator

I agree but in some cases, due to migration conflict, I chose to ignore it.

anton-adamiv commented Aug 21, 2020

Hello @santoshpurbey
What about data migrations?

Thank you for pointing import stuff about database migrations, I've created this gist for my use-case where I've faced migrations issue while working with git so I put it in git ignore file but aware of this and only useful for development environment but not for production where we need the most. Interesting fact: unexpectedly this gist appeared on top in google search.

Hello, i have site-packages and py_cache files, should i ignore them on my gitignore, besides poluting my git status i feel like it is not necessary files, they should only remain on the user's side. What do you guys think ?

MrKyHn1 commented Jan 8, 2021

to be more precise they are /py_cache files and venv/lib/python/site-packages/ but i notice that you ignore the venv folder , we use a common venv in my team to not flood our machines and it works fine

ayush-mandowara-bst commented Jan 8, 2021 via email

What do you mean by common venv? In general, you should ignore your environment and only keep a requirements.txt file in tracking. I'll explicitly state how you can create a requirements file. 1. Activate your environment 2. pip freeze > requirements.txt In your gitignore just add <name of environment>/ And now add this to tracking 3. git add requirements.txt .gitignore 4. git commit -m 'adding requirements' 5. git push origin master Now anyone who pulls the repo can (optionally) create their own environment and install the requirements using pip install -r requirements.txt Hope this helps!

I mean the venv is on the repo when you clone it. I am gonna remove it like suggested, but i would like to make a script to create the venv( i mean the activate/deactivate/... Binaries and so on)

I do it all the time. I mostly use windows. Here's my bat file that does some stuff for me: ``` @echo off py -m venv env type nul > env.bat echo cd env\Scripts >> env.bat echo call activate.bat >> env.bat echo cd ..\.. >> env.bat call env.bat ``` I have added the location of this bat file in my Environment variables. Then I call it in whichever folder I want to create a new environment.
