Use uv in a Dockerfile with layer-cached dependency installs (official images, uv sync --locked, cache mounts)

Use uv in a Dockerfile with layer-cached dependency installs (official images, uv sync --locked, cache mounts)

Manage the uv cache: clean, prune, CI-optimized pruning, and cache-busting flags

Set up a uv workspace (monorepo) with a single lockfile and cross-member dependencies

Build and publish a Python package with uv (uv build, uv publish, tokens, custom indexes)

Use uv's pip interface (uv venv + uv pip) as a fast drop-in replacement for pip, virtualenv, and pip-tools

Export a uv lockfile to requirements.txt (or pylock.toml) for tools that can't read uv.lock

Upgrade locked dependency versions in a uv project (uv lock --upgrade / --upgrade-package, uv tree, lockfile checks)

Manage dev, group, and optional dependencies in a uv project (uv add --dev / --group / --optional and uv sync group flags)

Install and run Python CLI tools with uv: ephemeral uvx runs vs persistent uv tool install

Run single-file Python scripts with inline PEP 723 dependency metadata using uv run and uv add --script

Install, list, and pin Python versions with uv (uv python install / list / pin, .python-version, automatic downloads)

Install uv (the Astral Python package manager) via the standalone installer, pip/pipx, or a package manager, and keep it updated
