The Women in Neuroscience Repository (WiNRepo)

This repository contains the source code for winrepo.org, a platform to increase the visibility of women in neuroscience.

Quick Start

1. Fork and clone the repository.
2. Create a virtual environment and install dependencies:

   python3.10 -m venv .venv
   source .venv/bin/activate
   pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Set up environment variables — copy the defaults:

   cp .env.default .env

4. Populate the database with sample data:

   ./tools/refresh_db.sh

   This creates an SQLite database with test profiles, users, and fixtures. Pre-created accounts:
   • admin / admin (superuser)
   • user / user (regular user)
   • user-profile / user (staff with profile)
5. Run the development server:

   python manage.py runserver

   Open http://localhost:8000/ in your browser.

Docker (alternative)

docker-compose up

This starts the Django app with a MySQL database. The app is available at http://localhost:8000/.

Running Tests

python manage.py test

With coverage:

coverage run --source=profiles manage.py test
coverage report
