1. Project Initialization (+3)

1. Project Initialization

Create a new Python project:

# Initialize new project with pyproject.toml
uv init my-project
cd my-project

# Initialize in current directory
uv init

# Initialize with specific Python version
uv init --python 3.11

Project structure created:

my-project/
├── .python-version      # Python version lock
├── pyproject.toml       # Project configuration
├── README.md            # Project readme
└── src/
    └── my_project/
        └── __init__.py

2. Virtual Environment Management

Create and activate virtual environments:

# Create venv (default .venv directory)
uv venv

# Create with specific Python version
uv venv --python 3.11

# Create with custom name
uv venv .venv-test

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

# Activate (Windows)
.venv\Scripts\activate

# Activate (Git Bash on Windows)
source .venv/Scripts/activate

List available Python versions:

# List installed Python versions
uv python list

# Install specific Python version
uv python install 3.12

# Pin Python version for project
uv python pin 3.11

3. Dependency Management

Add dependencies:

# Add a single package
uv add pandas

# Add multiple packages
uv add numpy scipy matplotlib

# Add with version constraints
uv add "pandas>=2.0,<3.0"

# Add development dependencies
uv add --dev pytest pytest-cov ruff

# Add optional dependencies
uv add --optional ml tensorflow torch

# Add from git repository
uv add git+https://github.com/user/repo.git

# Add local package in editable mode
uv add --editable ../my-local-package

Remove dependencies:

# Remove a package
uv remove pandas

# Remove dev dependency
uv remove --dev pytest

Sync dependencies:

# Install all dependencies from pyproject.toml
uv sync

# Sync including dev dependencies
uv sync --dev

# Sync with optional dependencies
uv sync --extra ml

# Sync all extras
uv sync --all-extras

4. Lock File Management

Understanding uv.lock:

# Lock file is auto-generated on uv add/sync
# Contains exact versions for reproducibility

# Regenerate lock file
uv lock

# Lock with specific Python version
uv lock --python 3.11

# Update all dependencies to latest
uv lock --upgrade

# Update specific package
uv lock --upgrade-package pandas

Lock file structure:

# uv.lock (auto-generated, do not edit manually)
version = 1
requires-python = ">=3.9"

[[package]]
name = "pandas"
version = "2.2.0"
