将Django项目从virtualenv推送到github

Question

I'm working in virtualenv on a small Django project that needs to be shared on github and then cloned and installed on an Apache server from there. I have never used virtualenv in conjunction with github before. Ordinarily I'd set up the local git repository on the same level as the manage.py file. However, there are several virtualenv directories I don't really want (bin, lib, include etc) on that level along with my needed apps and template directories etc.

So, what is the way to create a github repository in this case. Is there a way to be selective and filter out the virtualenv stuff.

Answer 1

This is the directory structure I follow -

/path/to/application/
|-- project
|   |-- projectname
|   |   |-- __init__.py
|   |   |-- local_settings.py
|   |   |-- settings.py
|   |   |-- urls.py
|   |   `-- wsgi.py
|   |-- appone
|   |   |-- admin.py
|   |   |-- __init__.py
|   |   |-- models.py
|   |   |-- tests.py
|   |   `-- views.py
|   `-- manage.py
`-- venv
    |-- bin
    |-- include
    |-- lib
    `-- local

You can easily create a Django project inside a directory called project like this -

$ django-admin.py startproject projectname project

And initiate virtualenv inside a directory called venv like this -

$ virtualenv venv

Then you can just go ahead and git init inside /project . This keeps the virtualenv outside the scope of your git repository.

Otherwise, if you want to stick to your current structure, you can create a .gitignore file and mentione bin , lib , include etc there.

When working with a virtual environment, the common practice is to include the virtual environment folder in your .gitignore file. More on how to use this git feature here .

TL;DR: whatever you put in your .gitignore file will get ignored by git. Said file ( .gitignore ) resides in the same directory as your git repository.

Example of such a file which ignores any compiled source code (.pyc), compressed file (.zip, .rar, .tar), logs and databases (.db, .log, .sql) and virtual environment files (Scripts, Lib, Include) and whole folders (env - name of my virtualenv folder):

# Compiled source #
###################
*.com
*.class
*.dll
*.exe
*.o
*.so
*.pyc

# Packages #
############
*.7z
*.dmg
*.gz
*.iso
*.jar
*.rar
*.tar
*.zip

# Logs and databases #
######################
*.db
*.log
*.sql
*.sqlite

# virtualenv generated files #
##############################
Scripts
Lib
Include

# virtualenv folders #
######################
env

阅读有关忽略文件的Github文档-从.gitignore这相当于将.gitignore文件放入您的项目中，并带有与您不希望git管理的文件匹配的模式列表。
