Django Project Template

This project was generated from the Momentum Django project template. This template sets up some minimal changes:

  • django-extensions and django-debug-toolbar are both installed and set up.
  • django-environ is set up and the DEBUG, SECRET_KEY, and DATABASES settings are set by this package.
  • A starting Django app named core is provided.
  • There is a custom user model defined in core.models.User.
  • There is a templates/ and a static/ directory at the top level, both of which are set up to be used.
  • A .gitignore file is provided.
  • Pipenv is used to manage dependencies.

Using this template

In an empty directory, run:

django-admin startproject --template=https://github.com/momentumlearn/django-project-template/archive/main.zip --name=Pipfile project .
pipenv install
pipenv shell
cp project/.env.sample project/.env
./manage.py makemigrations
./manage.py migrate
