I am really new to Python and the virtualenv needed to set up a project. I dont know whether the directories generated by virtualenv should be gitignored or staged and committed.

I narrowed it down to the myproject/env/bin directory that doesn't seem to want to be staged. After running git add env/bin once I get.

[1] 16599 killed git add env/bin

And then after running the same git add env/bin again I get. 

 Another git process seems to be running in this repository, e.g.
 an editor opened by 'git commit'....

There are no other git process running. Thanks for your help!

    @drdaeman yes I saw this post and deleted the `.git/index.lock` file but the issue still persists. – Nigel Earle Jun 15 '17 at 20:00

After looking through a few other Python/Django repositories on Github, I see that most have add the env/bin, env/include and env/lib directories (generated by virtualenv) to their .gitignore file. I'll take this at face value and move on til I have a better understanding of virtualenv. Thanks!
