Stop copy-pasting code from old projects. Start with a solid foundation.

🌟 The Story Behind One Click DRF

Every time a new project starts at the office, I see a familiar cycle: developers need to start everything from scratch, from ground zero, through repetitive and manual work like this:

• Repetitive Installations: Manually installing djangorestframework, django-cors-headers, drf-yasg(Swagger), and other essential packages every single time.
• Settings Fatigue: Manually tweaking settings, creating .env files, and mapping them to variables.
• The Hunt: Going to GitHub just to find a standard Python .gitignore.
• Human Error: Forgetting something critical—like CORS settings—only to realize it hours later when the frontend developer can't connect.
• Confidence Gap: Even after hours of setup, no one is 100% sure if the environment is truly "perfect" or "production-ready."

One Click DRF was born to solve this. It automates these repetitive tasks and guarantees a battle-tested, production-ready foundation in seconds. No more copy-pasting, no more forgotten settings—just one command to start building what actually matters.

🚀 What you get with ocd

When you initialize a project with ocd, you’re not just getting a folder—you’re getting a full production environment:

• 🐳 Docker Ready: Multi-stage Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml for development and production.
• ⚙️ CI/CD (GitHub Actions): Pre-configured workflows for automated testing, linting, and deployment.
• 🏗️ Infrastructure as Code (IaC): Terraform templates to manage your cloud resource effortlessly.
• ☁️ AWS Deployment Ready: Built-in configurations to deploy your backend to AWS with confidence.
• 📊 Monitoring & Observability: Integrated Prometheus and Grafana setup to keep an eye on your app's health.
• 🛠️ Production Settings & .env: Professionally split settings.py and automatically generated .env file.
• 📝 Swagger API Ready: Instant API documentation with drf-yasg so you're ready to test immediately.
• 📂 Organized Apps Folder: A clean architecture where all your Django apps live in a dedicated apps/ directory.
• 🔒 Standard .gitignore: A pre-configured, standard Python .gitignore so you don't have to find one.
• 🚀 GitHub Integration: Option to automatically initialize a git repo and push to a new GitHub repository in one go.

📦 Installation

Since one-click-drf is a CLI tool, it is recommended to install it globally using uv:

uv tool install one-click-drf

If your system doesn't have uv yet, follow the installation guide here.

Alternatively, you can use pip:

pip install one-click-drf

🚀 Usage

Initialize a new project

ocd init myproject

This creates a new folder myproject with a production-ready structure.

Initialize in current directory

ocd init .

Enable Optional Features

You can mix and match flags:

ocd init myproject --docker --ci-cd

Or enable everything:

ocd init myproject --all

🚩 CLI Flags

Flag	Description
--docker	Adds Dockerfile and docker-compose.yml
--ci-cd	Adds GitHub Actions workflow for testing & linting
--iac	Adds Terraform skeleton for AWS
--observability	Adds Prometheus configuration
--all	Enables all above features

📂 Project Structure

We follow a clean, modular structure where the Django backend is isolated in its own directory, and infrastructure/deployment files are organized at the root:

project-root/
├── backend/              # Django backend source code
│   ├── core/             # Project configuration (settings.py, urls.py, etc.)
│   ├── apps/             # Your Django apps live here
│   ├── manage.py         # Django management CLI
│   ├── .env              # Environment variables
│   ├── .gitignore        # Backend-specific ignore rules
│   ├── Dockerfile        # Backend container definition
│   ├── erd.sh            # ERD generation utility
│   └── requirements/     # Dependencies split (base, dev, prod)
├── nginx/                # Nginx proxy configuration
├── .github/              # CI/CD (GitHub Actions workflows)
├── infra/                # Infrastructure as Code (Terraform & Ansible)
├── monitoring/           # Observability (Prometheus/Grafana)
├── docker-compose.yml    # Root orchestration for all services
└── DEVELOPMENT_GUIDE.md  # Detailed guide to get started

🚀 Built for the Future (Extensibility)

This structure is intentionally designed for scaling into a full-stack or microservices architecture:

• Full-Stack Ready: Need a frontend? Simply add a frontend/ folder (React, Next.js, Vue, etc.) at the root.
• Microservices/AI Ready: You can easily plug in other services like ml-service/ or ai-apps/ in their own folders next to the backend.
• Simplified Orchestration: Any new service can be integrated into the root docker-compose.yml and CI/CD pipelines, ensuring your entire ecosystem remains easy to deploy in the cloud.

🤝 Contribution

We welcome contributions!

1. Fork the repo.
2. Clone it clearly.
3. Install dependencies: uv sync or pip install -e .
4. Add a new generator in one_click_drf/generators.py or new templates in one_click_drf/templates/.

⚙️ Configuration

On first run, ocd will ask for your GitHub and DockerHub usernames. These are saved in ~/.config/one-click-drf/config.toml so you don't have to type them again.
