Django virtualenv postactivate hook

gistfile1.sh

#I usually drop something like this into my virtualenv's postactivate for some 
#quick and handy shortcuts to common Django commands.
#This way dropping in to do some work on any arbitrary project is as easy as:
# 1. workon <project name>
# 2. djr

cd /path/to/site/root

#Django command shortcuts
alias dj='python manage.py'
alias djr='dj runserver'
alias djrp='dj runserver_plus'
alias djdb='dj dbshell'
alias djs='dj shell'
alias djsp='dj shell_plus'
alias djt='dj test'
alias djm='dj migrate'
alias djsm='dj startmigration'

#A common convention for those who aren't keen on the local_settings approach to Django 
#settings overrides often use variations on the play of naming local overrides files
#the same as the machine's hostname. Point Django to the correct one here:

export SERVER_IDENTIFIER=hostname
