Openshift and django deployment

Question

I am trying to deploy a django project on openshift for testgin puposes. I tried to use this process described here but can't seem to be able to work it out. I successfully create my app using

rhc app create django python-2.6

But when I try to add the git it gives me the following error

fatal: Not a git repository (or any parent up to mount parent )
Stopping at filesystem boundary (GIT_DISCOVERY_ACROSS_FILESYSTEM not set).

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

At creation time, Openshift should create a directory django with a skeleton WSGI application, and git folder containing the remotes needed so you can just git push its contents to the Openshift app repo.

If you are working in another directory, you have to git init and then add the remotes to Openshift.
