Django Heroku how to go back to development server to make more changes

201 Views Asked by At

So I just deployed my Django app to Heroku, and everything is working fine. The current version of the app isn't perfect, so I want to edit it, but my current process is:

1. **make changes in files
2. git status (just to make sure changes are seen)
3. git add -A
4. git commit -m "message"
5. git push heroku master

How can I get back the whole python manage.py runserver development part so I can be more thorough with my changes, and only commit when I know the changes meet my expectations?

Since I'm new to Python/HTML/CSS, I'm always coding then testing to see what my code does, and it would involve a lot of git commit / git push currently. Any help is appreciated!

deploying to Heroku should not stop you from using python manage.py runserver. Just make sure that you have loaded up your virtual environment (if you are using one) and it should just work.
