The goal of this project is to provide minimalistic django project template that everyone can use. Template is written with django 1.9 and python 3 in mind.

The main features are:

• Separated dev and production settings

• Example app with custom user model

• Bootstrap static files included

• User registration and logging in as demo

• Procfile for easy deployments

• Separated requirements files

• SQLite by default if no env variable is set

To use this template to start your own project:

###Existing virtualenv

If your project is already in an existing python3 virtualenv first install django by running

$ pip install django

And then run the django-admin.py command to start the new project:

$ django-admin.py startproject \
  --template=https://github.com/nikola-k/django-template/zipball/master \
  --extension=py,md \
  <project_name>

###No virtualenv

This assumes that python3 is linked to valid installation of python 3 and that pip is installed and pip3is valid for installing python 3 packages.

Installing inside virtualenv is recommended, however you can start your project without virtualenv too.

If you don't have django installed for python 3 then run:

$ pip3 install django

And then:

$ python3 -m django startproject startproject \
  --template=https://github.com/nikola-k/django-template/zipball/master \
  --extension=py,md \
  <project_name>

{% endif %}

First clone the repository from Github and switch to the new directory:

$ git clone [email protected]/USERNAME/{{ project_name }}.git
$ cd {{ project_name }}

Activate the virtualenv for your project.

Install project dependencies:

$ pip install -r requirements/local.txt

Then simply apply the migrations:

$ python manage.py migrate

You can now run the development server:

$ python manage.py runserver
