Do not work on main... That is bad practice and if you push changes that break something it can be hard to figure out. Make your own branch with:

git pull
git checkout -b <test_branch>

When ready with your changes and they work locally, commit and push changes:

git commit -am "message"
git push -u origin <test_branch>

Merge request (MR) to main:

git checkout main
git pull origin main
git merge <test_branch>`

There should be an approval request so wait, if not after resovling conflicts:

git push origin main

You need to generate your own secret key for which you need to install django (search up how to do that for your OS) and generate your secret key:

python3 -c 'from django.core.management.utils import get_random_secret_key; print(get_random_secret_key())'`

Now you need to create a file inside the root project dir:

touch .env

Install an environment library:

pip install python-dotenv

Add these two things inside the file .env:

DJANGO_SECRET_KEY='<your_secret_key'
DEBUG='True'

Lastly, to start the django server:

cd <project_dir>
python3 manage.py migrate
python3 manage.py runserver

This will open a local connection on port 8000, you might need to add firewall rules to allow this and you can work real-time (changes made live) on this as long as you dont close that connection.
