Re: django+virtualenv+git(hub)

Hey,

I would recommend using virtualenvwrapper to manage virtual
environments for different projects.
[http://virtualenvwrapper.readthedocs.org/en/latest/]

Once you have virtualenvwrapper installed, you can create virtualenv
for new projects using

$ mkvirtualenv <project_name>

.. and you can activate this virtualenv in future using

$ workon <project_name>

For using git,

1. initialize git when you create the project
2. Copy content of required .gitignore files from
https://github.com/github/gitignore in .gitignore file for your
project

You should read `Two Scoops of Django` book
(https://django.2scoops.org/). It has dedicated chapters on optimal
django environment setup , project layouts, app design and much more.
It's worth reading.

You can find project layout explained in book at
https://github.com/twoscoops/django-twoscoops-project
