Activating VirtualEnv on Windows

[Lorenz Schümann]

Hey, newbie here.
I've followed the instructions on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/intro/contributing/ regarding Virtualenv. And at the point where it says for Windows, to activate the Virtualenv, type $ source ~/virtualenvs/djangodev/Scripts/activate, I found out through StackExchange that indeed it's just the activate.bat you need to run, as I don't have a source command in my Windows distro. Now isn't that the most straight forward way anyway and should replace the method, which is written down in the tutorial.

Hi.
Try to run the .bat. May be it is a documentation error?

[Antonis Christofides]

Apparently the documentation isn't very clear. Either the "source" is an error, or the documentation assumes you are executing the command inside a Git Bash window.
