Is it bad to have my virtualenv directory inside my git repository?
I think is that the best is to install the virtual environment in a path inside the repository folder, maybe is better inclusive to use a subdirectory dedicated to the environment (I have deleted accidentally my entire project when force installing a virtual environment in the repository root folder, good that I had the project saved in its latest version in Github).
Either the automated installer, or the documentation should indicate the virtualenv path as a relative path, this way you won't run into problems when sharing the project with other people. About the packages, the packages used should be saved by pip freeze -r requirements.txt.
I'm thinking about putting the virtualenv for a Django web app I am making inside my git repository for the app. It seems like an easy way to keep deploy's simple and easy. Is there any reason why I shouldn't do this?
