Initialize a new django project the falco way. This project-starter makes several assumptions; we’ll go through the most important choices I made in the next couples of sections. I’ll list some alternatives below in case you don’t agree with my choices. But even if you choose to use an alternative, most commands can still be useful to you, and the guides are not particularly tied to the generated project. So, even with another project-starter, Falco can still bring you value.
falco start-project myproject
falco start-project myproject -b bootstrap
Note
The authors key of the [tool.project] section in the pyproject.toml is set using your git global user
configuration. If you haven’t set it yet, see this page.
Experimental
You can update your project to stay current with the latest changes in the project starter. Please note that this is an experimental feature. Ensure you commit your
changes before running the command. If there are conflicts, .rej files will be generated, which you will need to review and manually update the corresponding files
if necessary.
falco update-project
The subsequent sections will delve deeper into the folder structure, package choices, and provide guidance on deploying your project.
Alternative starters¶
Here are some alternative project starters that you can consider if the falco starter is not to your liking:
