I am on Windows and using GitBash to run shell scripts in bash that run python scripts.
How can I create a project-specific alias to define a specific python environment and run shell scripts through GitBash that use that environment?
This is a file called test.sh:
# misc notes at top, like a docstring
print("Hello")
# real file will instead say myPyScript.py etc.
I can successfully run this in GitBash with C:/users/name/mypath/python.exe test.sh and it returns "Hello" to the console.
Problem: I want to use a project-specific python environment whose path is defined with an alias.
Here's what I am trying, based on Why doesn't my Bash script recognize aliases?, and how it is failing:
This is a file called .pyalias:
alias mypython='C:/users/name/mypath/python.exe test.sh'
This is a file called main_run_all.sh:
#!/bin/bash
misc notes at top, like a docstring
shopt -s expand_aliases
source /.pyalias
mypython test.sh
real file will instead say myPyScript.py etc
When I run sh main_run_all.sh I get test.sh: line 6: source: .pyalias: file not found
Here is the directory setup:
