Tips
If you need to change the Python version in your pipenv, simply update python_version in the Pipfile then reinitialize pipenv using pipenv --python <typed version>.
To check whether you need to update packages for say known vulnerabilities, type pipenv check.
Then change to the appropriate version number for packages specified in the output of pipenv check in your Pipfile and type pipenv install in your command line.
You can also bake in environment variables by creating an .env file within your pipenv root directory. Just remember to add the file to .gitignore so as not to expose any sensitive information such as passwords/tokens/etc.
