selfie-less-act

Cloud Computing Project for 6th Sem

Follow these instructions to set up.

Strongly recommend to use a virtual environment and Visual Studio Code as the editor.

If using a virtual environment

python3 -m venv env # To create a virtual env.
cd env && source bin/activate # To activate venv. Do this everytime you start to work.

Clone from gitlab.

git clone 'your_path'
cd selfie-less-act
Create a new branch using git checkout -b 'branch_name'

* Do not work on `master` branch.

Initialise the repository

pip3 install -r requirements.txt
python manage.py createsuperuser

To run the django project

python3 manage.py runserver

Initialise the db

When changes to the database schema are made (the models), run python manage.py makemigrations and then python manage.py migrate from the repo directory in order to make the corresponding changes in the schema to your local database.
Mostly not needed at the moment as we are using sqlite3 rn

Pull before making any new commits

Pull using git pull origin `branch_name`

To commit your changes

git add .
git commit -m "Message"
git push origin 'branch_name'
