Using Git

There are CLI tools like Git Desktop and GUI tools like Microsoft Visual Studio Code to use Git. GUI tools have their own limitations.

preparing the work environment

First, I have the habit of working in virtual environments. I create one and activate it:

Wassim@linux:~/private/labscripts$ python -m venv venv
Wassim@linux:~/private/labscripts$ ls
venv
Wassim@linux:~/private/labscripts$ source venv/bin/activate
((venv) ) Wassim@linux:~/private/labscripts$

I initially wanted to install a virtual environment for Linux and another one for Windows in the same directory. It looks like the installer failed me silently. No exe or bat files were installed. So, I deleted the venv directory that I created weeks ago on my Linux machine using rmdir /S, and recreated it on Windows with python -m venv .\venv.
