PiRG (Pip Requirements Generator) is a minimalist command-line tool designed for Python developers who prefer a simple approach to managing project dependencies. Unlike traditional requirements files that include all installed packages and their dependencies, PiRG focuses on capturing only the primary packages you install using pip install. This makes your requirements.txt file concise and easier to manage.
With PiRG, you can also pass additional pip install or pip uninstall options to customize package installation and removal.
Instead of looking back and searching through project files which packages are needed for project, with PiRG you record each installed package. If you don't want to put some package into requirements.txt just use pip.
Before using pirg, make sure you have Python 3.8 or higher installed on your system.
