Django Create Project

django-createproject is a Django project creation command, designed to quickly set up project templates that I frequently use. It includes additional configurations for database setup, Docker, and code formatters.

Features

• Config Directory: The project's configuration files will be placed inside a config directory, which is created in the current working directory along with manage.py. This allows you to set up a virtual environment (venv) or Poetry before running the command, and the project will be created in the current location. You don't need to move any files around.
• Database configuration: Choose your database backend, and I will automatically generate the corresponding configuration in settings.py. Currently supported options are: sqlite, mysql, or postgres. Default is sqlite.
• Docker support: Optionally include a Dockerfile and docker-compose.yaml for containerization.
• Code formatters: Optionally include black and ruff formatters in the pyproject.toml configuration file.

Installation

To install the package, run:

pip install git+https://github.com/mark0613/django-createproject.git

Usage

Once installed, you can use the django-createproject command to create a new Django project:
