A code editor. It's free, open source, and runs everywhere (even your Ipad).
- Really good IntelliSense
- Debugging
- Integrated version control (Git)
- Highly customizable
- ctrl+shift+p -> Most useful, opens the command palette
- ctrl+k, ctrl+s -> Keyboard shortcuts, away with the mouse!
- ctrl+b -> Toggle Explorer
- ctrl+` -> Toggle Terminal

Isolate workspaces on a per-project basis
Template Project Structure:
- project_name
- .venv
- .vscode
- .gitignore
- project_name
- __init__.py
- main.py
- requirements.txt
Steps
-
ctrl+shift+p
-> Python: Create Environment -
ctrl+shift+` to open new terminal in .venv
-
pip install -r requirements.txt
-
Create repo online and initialize it locally
echo "# project_name" >> README.md git init git add README.md git commit -m "first commit" git remote add origin [email protected]:username/project_name.git git push -u origin master
For management of different python environments use pyenv
