# Virtualenvwrapper plugin
This plugin loads Python's [virtualenvwrapper](https://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) shell tools.
To use it, add `virtualenvwrapper` to the plugins array in your zshrc file:
```zsh
plugins=(... virtualenvwrapper)
```
## Usage
The plugin allows to automatically activate virtualenvs on cd into git repositories with a matching name:
```
➜ github $ cd ansible
(ansible) ➜ ansible git:(devel) $ cd docs
(ansible) ➜ docs git:(devel) $ cd ..
(ansible) ➜ ansible git:(devel) $ cd ..
➜ github $
```
We can override this by having a `.venv` file in the directory containing a differently named virtualenv:
```
➜ github $ cat ansible/.venv
myvirtualenv
➜ github $ cd ansible
(myvirtualenv) ➜ ansible git:(devel) $ cd ..
➜ github $
```
We can disable this behaviour by setting `DISABLE_VENV_CD=1` before Oh My Zsh is sourced:
```zsh
DISABLE_VENV_CD=1
plugins=(... virtualenvwrapper)
source $ZSH/oh-my-zsh.sh
```
