Fish shell tool for managing Python virtual environments

VirtualFish

VirtualFish is a Python virtual environment manager for the Fish shell.

You can get started by reading the documentation. (It’s quite short… Promise!)

You can also get help on #virtualfish on OFTC (ircs://irc.oftc.net:6697/#virtualfish), the same network as the Fish IRC channel.

VirtualFish is currently maintained by Justin Mayer, and was originally created by Leigh Brenecki.

A quickstart, for the impatient

👉 Fish version 3.1 or higher is required. 👈

1. python -m pip install virtualfish
2. vf install
3. Add VirtualFish to your prompt
4. vf new myvirtualenv; which python

Read the documentation to find out more about project management, environment variable automation, auto-activation, and other plugins, as well as extending VirtualFish with events, virtualenvwrapper emulation, and more.
