Opening a folder as a PyCharm project allows you to manage your Python code within the IDE's environment, benefiting from features like code completion, debugging, and version control. Here's how to do it:
- Open PyCharm: Launch the PyCharm application.
- Choose "Open": From the welcome screen or the "File" menu, select "Open".
- Navigate to the Folder: Browse your computer's file system to locate the folder containing your Python project.
- Select the Folder: Click on the folder you want to open as a project.
- Confirm: PyCharm will ask if you want to create a project from the selected folder. Click "Yes" to proceed.
PyCharm will create a project structure based on the folder's contents. You can now utilize PyCharm's features within the context of your existing codebase.
