Creating a Python project is straightforward. Begin by creating a new directory for your project:

mkdir my_project
cd my_project

Next, set the Python version for your project (using the latest version) and initialize the Git repository:

asdf install python latest \
  && asdf local python latest

echo "__pycache__/" >> .gitignore

git init
git add -A .
git commit -m "First commit"

These steps will create a new Python project directory, configure the Python version, and initialize a Git repository with an initial commit, setting the foundation for your project's development.

We have initialized a local Git repository for your Python project, but we have not yet connected it to a remote repository hosting service.

To ensure the safety and version control of your project, it is highly recommended to create a project on your preferred repository hosting platform, such as GitLab, GitHub, or Bitbucket.

If you are looking for a Git repository hosting service, Stackhero offers GitLab cloud service that can be set up in just 2 minutes, running on a private and dedicated VM for maximum confidentiality and security, available in Europe or the USA depending on your choice.
