I'm waiting for this issue to be done: Add an option to store virtual environments in a centralized location outside projects https://github.com/astral-sh/uv/issues/1495

I have used virtualenvwrapper before and it was very convenient to have all virtual environments stored in one place, like ~/.cache/virtualenvs.

The .venv in the project directory is annoying because when you copy folder somewhere you start copying gigabytes of junk. Some tools like rsync can't handle CACHEDIR.TAG (but you can use --exclude .venv)
