Description

The gitignore templates for all 6 Python frameworks are missing .venv/, the default directory created by python -m venv .venv. This causes hundreds of MB of third-party packages to be staged on git add .. Additionally, the Strands template has a duplicate .env entry.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. agentcore create with any Python framework
  2. python -m venv .venv in the agent directory
  3. git add .
  4. git status shows .venv/ contents staged

Expected Behavior

.venv/ should be in .gitignore and excluded from staging.

Actual Behavior

.venv/ is not in .gitignore, so the entire virtual environment (hundreds of MB) gets staged for commit.

                Description
                The gitignore templates for all 6 Python frameworks are missing .venv/, the default directory created by python -m venv .venv. This causes hundreds of MB of third-party packages to be staged on git add .. Additionally, the Strands template has a duplicate .env entry.
                Steps to Reproduce
                1. agentcore create with any Python framework
                2. python -m venv .venv in the agent directory
                3. git add .
                4. git status shows .venv/ contents staged
                Expected Behavior
                .venv/ should be in .gitignore and excluded from staging.
                Actual Behavior
                .venv/ is not in .gitignore, so the entire virtual environment (hundreds of MB) gets staged for commit.
