9 months ago Appreciate it - thank you. I'm totally open to using pip, and other command line processes - I just don't have much experience with it, and have struggled to find reliable info on how to do it in the past (my past attempts using command line looked a lot like our last call, when we tried to commit code from VS Code to GitHub).
Do you have any recommendations for pages I could look at that give an overview of the command line and how it's used? My (very basic, possibly wrong) understanding is that it's essentially an IDE that can be used to give commands directly to your computer's OS, rather than to a specific program; but my guess is that in a typical software job, I'd need to have a more complete understanding of how to use it. If you have any recommendations, I'd love to look at them.

Creating your requirements.txt file and committing it to your repo means that I or any one with access to your repo can easily install all project dependencies.
I use pip for dependency management. That doesn't mean you can't continue using conda. To create a pip-compatible requirements.txt file from a Conda environment, you can use the following approach.
conda list -e | grep -v "^#" | cut -f 1 -d " " > requirements.txtThe outputted file 'requirements.txt' should be committed with your code. I can then use this file to install all the required dependencies and run your project on my own machine.
