What follows is the README.md file from my GitHub repo where https://blog.summittdweller.com is built. It outlines how to “properly” add Python to a project such that we can create an easily reproducible “virtual environment” without storing the necessary Python libraries in GitHub.

Using guidance at https://predictivehacks.com/how-to-work-with-vs-code-and-virtual-environments-in-python/ I successfully created a new .venv virtual environment. The commands I used to do this were…
