Hey, I would recommend using virtualenvwrapper to manage virtual environments for different projects. [http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/]
Once you have virtualenvwrapper installed, you can create virtualenv for new projects using $ mkvirtualenv <project_name> .. and you can activate this virtualenv in future using $ workon <project_name> For using git, 1. initialize git when you create the project 2. Copy content of required .gitignore files from https://github.com/github/gitignore in .gitignore file for your project You should read `Two Scoops of Django` book (https://django.2scoops.org/). It has dedicated chapters on optimal django environment setup , project layouts, app design and much more. It's worth reading. You can find project layout explained in book at https://github.com/twoscoops/django-twoscoops-project On Sat, Mar 30, 2013 at 1:26 PM, John <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi list, > > I'm a Django newbie and have been reading of usefulness of using it with > virtualenv+git.
