I did a project in Python using a virtualenv, in this case I should upload all virtualenv to Github or just the Python code?

I don’t recommend that you upload your virtual environment to your Git repository.
Instead, use the command pip freeze to get a list of all packages used in your virtual environment and save the output to the archive requirements.txt. This file yes, should be sent to your repository. Using pip install -r requirements.txt in a new virtual environment, you will be able to reinstall all packages needed for your project (in the correct versions including).
The ideal would be to set up a file .gitignore in your project’s root folder to ignore virtual environment files. If your virtual environment is inside the folder venv for example, add venv/ in the .gitignore and save. You can download a file .gitignore well-rounded here.

In general, do not upload dependency content that can easily be downloaded. Try to write a README.Md clarifying, describing the procedures for obtaining the modules on which the program depends, its installation and examples of use.
