How to Use

To use this project, follow these steps:

Create your working environment.
Install Django ($ pip install django)
Create a new project using this template

Configuring Go Packages

If you haven't already, install Go with brew install go
Add the following lines to your ~/.bash_profile

export GOPATH=$HOME/golang
export GOROOT=/usr/local/opt/go/libexec
export GOBIN=$GOPATH/bin
export PATH=$PATH:$GOPATH
export PATH=$PATH:$GOROOT/bin
export PATH=$GOPATH/bin:$PATH

Navigate to the root directory of the project. In this case, that would be the lsproject folder
Install the primary Go packages using go install ./cmd/going_going_gone
Now, you should be able to test the app locally using heroku local

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

(If this doesn't work on windows, replace django-admin.py with django-admin)

You can replace helloworld with your desired project name.

Deployment to Heroku

$ git init
$ git add -A
$ git commit -m "Initial commit"

$ heroku create
$ git push heroku master

$ heroku run python manage.py migrate
