How can I make a website with django and heroku?

Don't worry Github is here.
Follow the following steps to host your site fro free.

Install django and pipenv using

         pip install pipenv

         pip install django
         
pipenv install django [For Creating Virtual Environment and Pipfile & Pipfile.lock]

Open the folder where you want to save your project and type cmd in the place of the folder's path and run this command
```
                 django-admin startproject <projectname>
```

After constructing your site add Procfile and type

                    web: gunicorn <projectname>.wsgi

#ignore commands.txt that is a file temporarily I have created

Install gunicorn and whitenoise through pipenv as well as pip

                    pip/pipenv install  gunicorn   
                    pip/pipenv install  whitenoise

Then in your settings.py add this MIDDLEWARE

                  'whitenoise.middleware.WhiteNoiseMiddleware',

Now you need to add STATIC_ROOT Path in settings.py to tell where to look for static files e.g, css, js, etc.
```
                 STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')
```
Now add new “static” folder inside root directory of your project, if you don’t have and then run following command to collect all inbuilt static files related to django-admin
```
                    python/python3 manage.py collectstatic
```
Now add requirements.txt file to your root directory. So, that heroku could install all the required packages that they need to run this app on their server.
```
                        pip freeze > requirements.txt
```
Now you need to install git If you haven’t installed it. Go and Just install Git from its official website and install it:

Download Git From Here: Click Here

Then go to github and create a new repository and push your code by running the following commands

                git init
                git add README.md (Optional)
                git add .
                git commit -m "first commit"
                git branch -M main
                git remote add orgin <github repository link.git>
                git push -u origin main

Create an app on heroku

Once you’ve selected name for your app then add your app_domain inside your ALLOWED_HOST in settings.py

           ALLOWED_HOSTS = [
                  '127.0.0.1',
                  '<projectname>.herokuapp.com',
              ]

Now again, commit and push these changes to your github

                  > git add .
                  > git commit -m "Allowed Hosts"
                  > git push -u origin main

Now you need connect that github repository to your heroku app. Where your configured django project is available.

and click on connect after finding the repository

Now scroll down and there you will see option Enable Automatic Deploys, click on it to enable this feature.

And Now whenever you will make and new changes in your repository then it will automatically fetch your changes and then will apply those changes to deployed app.

Finally click on the deploy branch button.
And now your site will be fully live on url: projectname.herokuapp.com.
