PiRG - Pip Requirements Generator

Description

PiRG (Pip Requirements Generator) is a minimalist command-line tool designed for Python developers who prefer a simple approach to managing project dependencies. Unlike traditional requirements files that include all installed packages and their dependencies, PiRG focuses on capturing only the primary packages you install using pip install. This makes your requirements.txt file concise and easier to manage.

With PiRG, you can also pass additional pip install or pip uninstall options to customize package installation and removal.

Installation

Prerequisites

Before using pirg, make sure you have Python 3.8 or higher installed on your system.

Installation Steps

1. Install pirg using pip:

   pip install pirg
   

2. Verify the installation by running:

   pirg --help
   

3. You're ready to use pirg!

Usage

Adding Packages to requirements.txt

To add one or more packages to your project's requirements.txt file and install them, use the following command:

pirg install package_name1 package_name2 ...

Removing Packages from requirements.txt

To remove one or more packages from your project's requirements.txt file and uninstall them, use the following command:

pirg uninstall package_name1 package_name2 ...

Note: Make sure to replace package_name1, package_name2, etc., with the actual names of the packages you want to add or remove.

Additional Options

• You can specify a custom path for your requirements.txt file using the --requirements-path option. By default, it assumes ./requirements.txt.
