Learning Log

Learning Log is an online journal system that lets you keep track of information you’ve learned about particular topics. Learning log is built using the Django 5.0.x web framework.

It allows users to log the topics they’re interested in and to make journal entries as they learn about each topic. Once logged in, a user can create new topics, add new entries, and read and edit existing entries.

• run command menu

  (adapted from Nick Janetakis' helpful docker-django-example)

  You can run ./run to get a list of commands and each command has documentation in the run file itself. This comes in handy to run various Docker commands because sometimes these commands can be a bit long to type.

  If you get tired of typing ./run you can always create a shell alias with alias run=./run in your ~/.bash_aliases or equivalent file. Then you'll be able to run run instead of ./run.
