Git – Should Pipfile.lock be committed to version control?
Question:
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?
Answers:
Short – Yes!
The lock file tells pipenv exactly which version of each dependency needs to be installed. You will have consistency across all machines.
// update: Same question on github
