# Django Project Structure
This is a template/project structure for developing django-based applications -
either strictly through the `django-rest-framework` or just `django`.
The project is meant to be easily clonable, and used as the starter template for
the next big thing our team develops.
## Project Tree

## Rationale
### `apps`
* A mother-folder containing all apps for our project.
* An app can be a django template project, or an api
### `config`
* Contains project configuration files, including the primary URL file
* Contains settings split into `base`, `local`, `production` and `development`
### `deployments`
* Contains Docker and nginx specific files for deploying in different
environments
