+# Django Template
+
+This repository contains a reusable Django project template in
+`django_template/`. The existing sample project remains available at the
+repository root and is not used as the template source.
+
+## Usage
+
+From the directory that contains this repository, create a new project with:
+
+```bash
+django-admin startproject myproject --template=djangotemplate/django_template
+```
+
+For this repository's virtual environment, use:
+
+```bash
+djangotemplate/env/bin/django-admin startproject myproject \
+ --template=djangotemplate/django_template
+```
+
+Then initialize and run the generated project:
+
+```bash
+cd myproject
+python manage.py migrate
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+The generated project includes a `core` application, a home page, project-level
+templates, static directories, and a media directory. Configure secrets,
+allowed hosts, installed applications, assets, and deployment settings for the
+new project before production use.

+# Django Project Template
+
+This directory is a reusable template for `django-admin startproject`.
+
+## Create a project
+
+From the directory that contains this repository, run:
+
+```bash
+django-admin startproject myproject --template=djangotemplate/django_template
+```
+
+Then start the development server:
+
+```bash
+cd myproject
+python manage.py migrate
+python manage.py runserver
+```
+
+## Included structure
+
+- `project_name/`: Django project settings, URL configuration, ASGI, and WSGI modules. Django replaces this directory name with the name supplied to `startproject`.
+- `apps/core/`: A starter application with an index route and template.
+- `templates/`: Project-level base template.
+- `static/`: Project-level CSS, JavaScript, fonts, and images directories.
+- `media/`: Development media upload directory.
+
+Add applications, environment-specific settings, static assets, and deployment configuration for each new project as needed.
