uv add package-name

# Add multiple packages
uv add pyqt6 websockets asyncio

# Add dev dependency
uv add --dev pytest black

# Remove package
uv remove package-name

# Sync dependencies (install from pyproject.toml)
uv sync

Running Scripts

# Run Python file
uv run main.py

# Run with arguments
uv run main.py --arg value

# Run module
uv run -m pytest

Virtual Environment

# Create venv (auto-created on uv sync)
uv venv

# Activate (Windows)
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Activate (macOS/Linux)
source .venv/bin/activate
