setting up your development environment

First, clone the project and create your branch.

git clone https://github.com/caveatemptors-2015/special-garbanzo.git
git checkout -b <my_name>

Second, install your virtual environment in the /project directory (the one containing LICENSE, README.md, and requirements.txt). Then pip install necessary modules from requirements.txt.

cd project
virtualenv env
pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Third, create the file /project/project/secret.py to include a secret key. It ought to look like this:

# SECURITY WARNING: keep the secret key used in production secret!
SECRET_KEY = 'k4cp8vc9vgy!3&2jh#1tomztm2o^7kkz&%qdp0jr6!mle*@g(d'

You can copy/paste SECRET_KEY from any of your old /project/project/settings.py files. If you copy/paste the example it will probably also work, but that's a bad idea (because this README is not a SECRET).

We move our SECRET_KEY from it's traditional home in /project/project/settings.py to our special file /project/project/secret.py so that we may place secret.py in our .gitignore, thus preventing it from being added to our repositories and making our SECRET_KEY public.

Finally, python3 manage.py migrate to get your database set up. XD
