cookiecutter-django

Cookiecutter Django is a powerful project template that leverages the Cookiecutter tool to generate production-ready Django projects. It aims to provide a solid foundation for web applications, incorporating a wide array of modern tools and best practices right from the start. This includes pre-configured settings for various environments, integrated Docker support for consistent development and deployment, and guides for common tasks like testing, linting, and database backups.

The core value proposition of Cookiecutter Django is to eliminate the tedious and error-prone initial setup phase of a Django project. By providing a well-structured and opinionated template, developers can focus immediately on building their application's unique features rather than spending time configuring basic infrastructure. It supports various deployment targets like Heroku and PythonAnywhere, making the transition from development to production smoother and more predictable.
