My Preconfigured Django Template: Part 1 - Introduction

Setting up a new Django project often involves repetitive steps: installing dependencies, configuring settings, and ensuring the right tools are in place. To simplify this, I created my own Django Template - a lightweight starting point for my projects.

Why Did I Create This Template?

Every time I started a project, I had to set up environments, install tools, and configure everything manually. Instead of doing it from scratch every time, I built a preconfigured template that includes:

  • Pre-commit hooks to ensure clean code.
  • Black & Ruff for formatting and linting.
  • UV Astral for better dependency management.
  • Docker support for database consistency.
  • GitHub Actions for automated workflows.

This template saves time, keeps my projects organized, and ensures a consistent setup.
