create-django-app

Even though I rarely create new django apps from scratch, I still don't like initial procedure of creating it, too much steps that can be automated. That's the purpose of this tool.

What this script does:

• Creates Django project
• Creates corresponding apps
• Creates initial virtualenv (venv)
• Installs provided dependencies
• Creates initial requirements.txt
• Initializes git repository
• Runs initial migration (using sqlitedb)
• Creates superuser
• Shows created application in browser

Download and run the script:

Python version:

Download it from PyPi:

pip3 install create-django-app --user

Usage:

# show help
create-django-app --help

# create django project
create-django-app -p test_project -a 'test_app1 test_app2' -d requests

# create project without admin user with --noadmin flag
create-django-app -p test_project -a 'test_app1 test_app2' -d requests --noadmin

# don't run server in the end with --nodemo flag
create-django-app -p test_project -a 'test_app1 test_app2' -d requests --nodemo

Bash version:

DEPRECATED: this script does not recieve same updates as the python package, buy still gets the job done. You can download it via wget/curl/whatever you prefer:

curl -O https://raw.githubusercontent.com/arsenlosenko/create-django-app/master/create-django-app.sh

After that give it executable permission:

chmod +x create-django-app.sh

And run it:

./create-django-app.sh -d foo_project -a 'foo_app bar_app' -d 'requests'

Show help:

./create-django-app.sh
