What is venv folder in Django?

The venv folder is a Python virtual environment that contains:

1. A copy of the Python interpreter
2. pip package manager
3. All project-specific dependencies and packages
4. Isolated environment settings
   You should not add the venv folder to Git because:
5. It contains system-specific files and paths
6. It can be large in size (unnecessary for version control)
7. Other developers should create their own virtual environments based on requirements.txt
   Instead, you should:
8. Keep venv/ in your .gitignore (which you already have)
9. Create and maintain a requirements.txt file that lists your project dependencies:

pip freeze > requirements.txt

Other developers can then recreate the environment using:

python3 -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

This approach ensures better collaboration and cleaner version control.
