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?


Solution

  • Short - Yes!

    The lock file tells pipenv exactly which version of each dependency needs to be installed. You will have consistency across all machines.
