Practice setting up a Python project using a virtual environment and GitHub.

Note: We're installing SQLAlchemy to practice creating the requirements.txt file not because every Python project will need SQLAlchemy. If you'd rather install something else instead, go for it!

    Hi again, Megan here. 0:09
    In this practice session, you're going to practice setting up a python project. 0:11
    First, you'll start off in GitHub. 0:15
    And I want you to create a new repo for your project, 0:17
    then create a .gitignore file, and 0:22
    finally open your project locally using GitHub Desktop. 0:25
    Next, for your local setup you will need to set up a virtual 0:29
    environment in your new project folder. 0:34
    I want you to also add an app.py file then install SQLAlchemy. 0:37
    Next, freeze your project requirements. 0:44
    And finally, push your work back up to GitHub. 0:49
    Take your time, and I'll see you in the next video with the process. 0:53
