I modified my bash prompt to detect and auto-activate Python environments, and show if one is currently active. Haven’t thought about activate in years. It’s great.
Yes, I did that on my work laptop with fish, since I only ever used it with the work project.
On my personal machine I don't bother with venvs, so also haven't thought about it in years. But was trying to figure out what the "workon" command did for GP.
`workon` lists all virtualenvs you have in your virtualenvs folder and `workon foo` activates environment foo
this way I have all my envs in ~/virtual and all my projects in ~/projects and just `workon xyz` when I want to be in a certain venv for a given project (which doesn't always map one-to-one)
