Deployed to Heroku.

1 Following the instructions, deploy the app to Heroku, it?s free. The general steps are:

Install git and heroku
Create a Heroku account (added you as a collaborator to the gild heroku repo).

Once you have git installed, type the following commands in your webapp folder:

git init
git add .
`git commit -m 'My first commit?'

Run the following commands in your webapp folder to deploy to heroku:

heroku create
git push heroku master which will push your webapp to Heroku?s servers.
heroku run python manage.py migrate to create the database
heroku ps:scale web=1 which actually assigns compute power to your app
Run heroku open which will open your live website.

*To link with a godaddy domain, -in terminal: heroku domains:add www.mygild.com heroku domains This is what the output should look like:

Copy the boiling-orchid-hj1kcg2zfpw8sl38mq7bhvf5.herokudns.com This is the dns target. In godaddy, go to dns settings for the domain you purchased. mygild for instance

Paste the dns target into the CName field, overwriting the @ symbol. Follow the instructions here: https://www.earningbaba.com/redirect-non-www-to-www-in-godaddy/ To forward naked doman to site: mygild.com -> http://www.mygild.com: Add a subdomain. mygild.com to www.mygild.com. Permanent, forward only

I also added a venv folder. Start venv: source env/bin/activate and deactivate: deactivate

I think django already takes care of package management with the existing requirments.txt
