How to reset venv's activate script?

I'm using the venv that comes with python 3.

I accidentally typed script bin/activate instead of source, which edited the activate script. Since it was in my gitignore, I can't restore it through git. I tried copying this activate script from the souce, but running it gives a prompt __VENV_PROMPT__... instead of (folder)... so I'm worried that other things might be wrong too.

How can I fix my activate file?

if you are using python3 venv run the venv creation command again.

python -m venv env_name

where env_name is path to virtualenv you created, but before doing this, exit current running the terminal or command prompt
