Project Title: Bug Management Dashboard

Bug management dashboard is developed as part of the microtasks assigned on Wikimedia Phabricator. Django and SQLite are used for building this dashboard.

Features

• User Authentication: Adding new bug feature is limited to registered and authenticated users. A username and password are required for login.

Beside adding new bugs, one can check Leaderboard and Find all bug page without logging in.

• Leaderboard: A list of users who have created the most bugs is displayed, showing a friendly competition amongst users.

• Add New Bug: New bugs encountered can be reported by users. Details about the bug, including its description, tags, Subscribers and to whom the bug is Assigned to can be added.

• Find All Bugs: All reported bugs are listed. This list can be browsed to understand the current issues. Here the bugs can be updated or deleted.

Setup

The following steps are needed to run this project on a local machine:

1. The repository needs to be cloned from GitHub.
2. A virtual environment should be set up and the dependencies listed in the requirements.txt file should be installed.
3. The Django server should be run.

Here are the detailed steps:

# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/axif0/CapX.git

# Navigate into the cloned repository
cd CapX/core

# Set up virtual environment (Windows)
python -m venv env

# Set up virtual environment (Unix/MacOS)
python3 -m venv env

# Activate the virtual environment
# Windows
./env/Scripts/activate

# Unix/MacOS
source env/bin/activate

# Install the dependencies
pip install -r requirements.txt

# Run the Django server
python manage.py runserver

Now, http://localhost:8000 should be navigated to in the browser to view the project.
