Is there a way to continue typing in Terminal after I run a .command file? [on hold]
For example, let's say I want to set up my Python Virtual Environment. I would run python3 -m virtualenv env wait for it to run, then run source /Users/MyAccountName/env/bin/activate and then I would change my directory to wherever I want to be running Python files. It would be much easier to simply set that up in a .command file, so I can double click it and have it set up the Virtual Environment. However, when I run a .command file, once it is finished running, it simply prints:
logout
[Process Completed]
So, is there anyway for me to continue typing in the same Terminal tab after running a .command file?
