I am trying to activate my virutal enviornment using the python documentaion and gitbash. I can create the venv folder just fine. But when I try to activate it, it will not work.

Andrew@DESKTOP-CGDG53G MINGW64 ~/Desktop/django_projects/django_forms (main)
$ source venv/bin/activate
bash: venv/bin/activate: No such file or directory

Andrew@DESKTOP-CGDG53G MINGW64 ~/Desktop/django_projects/django_forms (main)  
$ source venv\bin\activate
bash: venvbinactivate: No such file or directory

my folder structure is
django_forms/venv

I am running this in gitbash and have cd’d into the venv folder.

How can it not see my venv folder? any ideas?

Your project folder structure looks like this:

.
└── django_forms
    └── venv

You don’t need to change directories into the venv folder. You can activate the virtual environment directly from the django_forms directory.

Try the following commands:

$ pwd
Desktop/example/django_forms

$ source venv/bin/activate
