============

This repository is where all the website related stuff can go on.

Getting Started

============

1 On the top right corner of your screen is a 'Fork' button. Click it and form this repository in your account.

2 You will need git installed at your machine. You will get a fork of this repository in your account. Clone it into your local machine by typing

   git clone https://github.com/<your username>/mitdevel2017.git openshift

3 A directory 'openshift' will be created at your machine. You can edit it, add new files, etc.etc.

4 Once done editing you can push the changes on your Github account by the commands (you need to be in the root of the repository):

   git add .
   git commit -m "<any message describing your change>"
   git push

5 Once the changes are pushed go to the online github repository and issue a pull request using the 'Pull request' button on the top right and continuing further. A pull request will be issued which I can later accept and the code changes will be reflectred.

Running the website at your machine

=============

You can run the website at your local machine too. Get into the root of the repository where the manage.py file resides and type in the shell:

   python manage.py runserver

Now open the web browser and goto http://localhost:8000/ and there you have the website running.
