crowbar-package-manager 0.1.8

a local-first tool for managing python dependencies with pip

crowbar

Note: any instance of crowbar can be replaced with cb

crowbar install <package_name> <package_name>

-Creates a virtual environment called venv if it does not exist
-Installs a package (or packages) from pypi into venv
-Updates requirements.txt and creates one if it does not exist

crowbar uninstall <package_name> <package_name>

-Uninstalls a package (or packages) from venv -Updates requirements.txt

crowbar install

-Installs all packages listed in requirements.txt

crowbar run <file_name>.py

-Runs a python file using the contents of the local venv

Warning – you may have pip muscle memory which may cause you to accidentally install globally. Use crowbar/cb and not pip if you are not in an active virtual environment.

global flag

crowbar --global install <package_name>

cb -g uninstall <package_name>

-installs or uninstalls a package globally

conda support

Crowbar supports python and will create an environment called conda_env instead of venv if it detects that it is within a conda environment.
