# Posthog
## Running locally
1) Make sure you have python 3 installed `python3 --version`
2) Make sure you have postgres installed `brew install postgres`
3) Start postgres, run `brew services start postgresql`
4) Create Database `createdb posthog`
5) Navigate into the correct folder `cd posthog`
6) Run `python3 -m venv env` (creates virtual environment in current direction called 'env')
7) Run `source env/bin/activate` (activates virtual environment)
8) Run `pip install -r requirements.txt`. If you have problems with this step (TLS/SSL error), then run `~ brew update && brew upgrade` followed by `python3 -m pip install --upgrade pip`, then retry the requirements.txt install.
9) Run migrations `python manage.py migrate`
10) Run `python manage.py createsuperuser`
11) Create a username, email and password
12) Run `python manage.py runserver`
## Running tests
`bin/tests`
## Running frontend
`bin/start-frontend`
## Pulling production database locally
`bin/pull_production_db`
## Create a new branch
If you are working on some changes, please create a new branch, submit it to github ask for approval and when it gets approved it should automatically ship to Heroku
* Before writing anything run `git pull origin master`
* Then create your branch `git checkout -b %your_branch_name%` call your branch something that represents what you're planning to do
* When you're finished add your changes `git add .`
* And commit with a message `git commit -m "%your feature description%" `
* When pushing to github make sure you push your branch name and not master!!
## Deployment to Heroku
* `git push origin %branch_name%` (sends it to Github) - DO NOT use `git push heroku master`
* Be very careful running migrations by testing if they work locally first (ie run makemigrations, migrate, runserver locally when you've made database changes)
* James or Tim will approve your change, and will deploy it to master
