# Heroku Django Starter Template

An utterly fantastic project starter template for Django 2.0.

## Features

- Production-ready configuration for Static Files, Database Settings, Gunicorn, etc.

- Enhancements to Django's static file serving functionality via WhiteNoise.

- Latest Python 3.6 runtime environment.

## How to Use

To use this project, follow these steps:

1. Create your working environment.

2. Install Django (`$ pipenv install django`)

3. Create a new project using this template

## Creating Your Project

Using this template to create a new Django app is easy::

    $ django-admin.py startproject --template=https://github.com/heroku/heroku-django-template/archive/master.zip --name=Procfile helloworld

You can replace ``helloworld`` with your desired project name.
