This repository contains the Django project you build in the official
Django tutorial: the mysite project with the polls app.
Each commit corresponds to a step in the tutorial.
If you get stuck while following the tutorial, you can check what your code should look like - right at the step you are currently at.
For further motivation, visit https://consideratecode.com/2017/12/15/django-tutorial-step-by-step
There is a tagged commit for each complete code change. The commit message indicated which step of the tutorial the commit refers to.
In most cases, each commit corresponds to the state of your project after a single section or sub-section in the tutorial.
Sometimes, a section contains multiple code changes that you should try one after the other, e.g. the section "Customize the admin change list" in Part 7 corresponds to five commits.
Here is a list of all steps in the tutorial, linked to the corresponding tag. The name of each tag is shown in brackets.

If you find any mistakes, open an issue or create a pull request. If you are unsure how to do that, drop me an email.
My goal is to stay true to the idea of one commit per step in the tutorial. This means that I will probably have to change tags and branch names if any changes are made.
