Real World Django

Real World Django applications and their open source codebases for developers to learn from

This project brings 30+ (and growing) active, open source Django applications together in one repository, making it easier for developers to download the collected codebases and learn from Django apps written by experienced developers. Reading open source code can be an invaluable learning aid. You’ll find the source code in the apps/ subdirectory.

# The Django apps are linked to as git submodules.
# This will take some time...(see comment below for possible speedup)
git submodule update --init

# OR If you've got git 2.9+ installed try to run updates in parallel:
# git submodule update --init --jobs 4

Information for Contributors

Is your app the right fit?

• The vast majority of the codebase should be written in Python and use Django as framework.
• Some projects are monorepos and use Django only as backend/API, those are allowed too.
• Only standalone django projects are accepted, no single "django apps" or python libraries. If in order to run a project you first need to add it to INSTALLED_APPS then it does not meet the criteria.
• The app should be somewhat popular and active, in order to limit the apps in this repo to a manageable amount. There is some leeway in what constitutes a popular app. A possible indicator can be GitHub stars compared to similar apps.

Don't hesitate to submit a pull request if you meet the criteria!

How to add a Real World Django app

Given a GitHub repo for a Django app githubuser/foo:

# Inside the project root:
git submodule add -b default_branchname git@github.com:githubuser/foo.git apps/foo

Updating the Django apps submodules to latest

The Django apps in apps/ are git submodules. Git submodules are locked to a revision and don't stay in sync with the latest revision.

To update the revisions, run:

# This will take some time:
git submodule foreach git pull
