 ::::{group-tab} Hatch
-The easiest way is to get familiar with [hatch environments][], with which these tasks are simply:
+
+On the command line, you typically interact with hatch through its command line interface (CLI).
+Running one of the following commands will automatically resolve the environments for testing and
+building the documentation in the background:
 
 ```bash
 hatch test  # defined in the table [tool.hatch.envs.hatch-test] in pyproject.toml
 hatch run docs:build  # defined in the table [tool.hatch.envs.docs]
 ```
 
+When using an IDE such as VS Code,
+you’ll have to point the editor at the paths to the virtual environments manually.
+The environment you typically want to use as your main development environment is the `hatch-test`
+environment with the latest Python version.
+
+To get a list of all environments for your projects, run
+
+```bash
+hatch env show -i
+```
+
+This will list “Standalone” environments and a table of “Matrix” environments like the following:
+
+```
++------------+---------+--------------------------+----------+---------------------------------+-------------+

+
+From the `Envs` column, select the environment name you want to use for development.
+In this example, it would be `hatch-test.py3.14-stable`.
+
+Next, create the environment with
+
+```bash
+hatch env create hatch-test.py3.14-stable
+```
+
+Then, obtain the path to the environment using
+
+```bash
+hatch env find hatch-test.py3.14-stable
+```
+
+In case you are using VScode, now open the command palette (Ctrl+Shift+P) and search for `Python: Select Interpreter`.
+Choose `Enter Interpreter Path` and paste the path to the virtual environment from above.
+
+In this future, this may become easier through a hatch vscode extension.
+
+::::
+
+::::{group-tab} uv
+
+A popular choice for managing virtual environments is [uv][].
+The main disadvantage compared to hatch is that it supports only a single environment per project at a time,
+which requires you to mix the dependencies for running tests and building docs.
+This can have undesired side-effects,
+such as requiring to install a lower version of a library your project depends on,
+only because an outdated sphinx plugin pins an older version.
+
+To initalize a virtual environment in the `.venv` directory of your project, simply run
+
+```bash
+uv sync --all-extras
+```
+
+The `.venv` directory is typically automatically discovered by IDEs such as VS Code.

 ::::{group-tab} Pip
-If you prefer managing environments manually, you can use `pip`:
+
+Pip is nowadays mostly superseded by environment manager such as [hatch][].
+However, for the sake of completeness, and since it’s ubiquitously available,
+we describe how you can manage environments manually using `pip`:
 
 ```bash
-cd dvp-io
 python3 -m venv .venv
 source .venv/bin/activate
 pip install -e ".[dev,test,doc]"
