Quickstart

Ensure you have cookiecutter installed:

pip install cookiecutter

Then use cookiecutter to generate your project from this template with:

cookiecutter [email protected]:wildfish/wildfish-django-starter.git

Then from your generated project:

npm install

# TODO to be replaces/updated in docs ticket.
pip install -r requirements.in

python manage.py migrate

Requirements using pip-compile

The generated project uses a requirements.in file to make it straightforward to keep pinned requirements up to date using the pip-compile command from pip-tools.

To generate a requirements.txt from your project simply use the pip-compile command.
