Without knowing too much about your environment, I figured I'd tell
you how I do it on my Debian-derivative systems.
* Install python-virtualenv and virtualenvwrapper - These tools help
you create isolated python environments under your home folder under
'.virtualenv'.
* Create a virtualenv for the project. If my project name is CarSite
I run 'mkvirtualenv carsite'. (After the virtualenv is created it
should leave you *inside* the virtual environment)
* Install the latest version of Django into your virtual env by
running 'pip install django'
* Create your project by going in to your code folder (this is
different than your virtualenv) "cd ~/code" and then creating the
project "django-admin startproject carsite"
* Go in to the carsite directory "cd ~/code/carsite"
* Create a requirements.txt file for other developers ('pip freeze >
requirements.txt')
* Turn it into a git repo "git init ."
* Commit your new project (or make changes, then commit) "git commit
-m 'My first commit'"
* Connect it to github by following their directions (something like
'git remote add origin g...@github.com:username/carsite.git' and then
'git push -u origin master')
Now other developers should be able to start working on the project by
doing the following:
* cd ~/code
* git clone g...@github.com:username/carsite.git carsite
* cd ~/code/carsite
* mkvirtualenv -r requirements.txt
