Now that I want to switch back, I noticed the original is not there...\r\n\r\nStep to reproduce:\r\n1. `mkvirtualenv test_gh` - deactivates and activates normally\r\n2. `mktmpenv --help` - this cds into it and makes the `README.tmpenv` file\r\n3. `deactivate` - removes the venv (I did `mktmpenv` properly and it automatically deactivated the previous one without me noticing)\r\n\r\nRelated: `mktmpenv` shows `mkvirtualenv`'s help + \"This is a temporary environment. It will be deleted when you run 'deactivate'.\". (I didn't notice it at first/thought it's just what command appends and didn't think it's about my current env)\r\n\r\nmktmpenv sees `mkvirtualenv --help` as successful call (because it is!) and continues with making currently active venv as temporary... Solution would be to find --help/-h early and just call `mkvirtualenv --help` and not continue.","author":{"url":"https://github.com/hazelnutfox","@type":"Person","name":"hazelnutfox"},"datePublished":"2023-05-23T11:22:39.000Z","interactionStatistic":{"@type":"InteractionCounter","interactionType":"https://schema.org/CommentAction","userInteractionCount":0},"url":"https://github.com/66/virtualenvwrapper/issues/66"}
