Git - Should Pipfile.lock be committed to version control?
When two developers are working on a project with different operating systems, the Pipfile.lock
is different (especially the part inside host-environment-markers
).
For PHP, most people recommend to commit composer.lock
file.
Do we have to do the same for Python?
Short - Yes!
The lock file tells pipenv exactly which version of each dependency needs to be installed. You will have consistency across all machines.
