See the doit tutorial

Note: This code is for the instructions up to the section on 'clean'.

• Complete the rest of the tutorial

To use this code

1. Install pipenv (if you don't already have it):

brew install pipenv

2. Install graphviz:

brew install graphviz

3. Install the dependencies by running the following in the same directory as the Pipfile file:

pipenv install

4. Activate the virtual environment:

pipenv shell

5. Run the doit workflow:

doit

You should see something like:

$ doit
.  imports
.  dot
.  draw

6. Check that the files were created:

ls -l requests*

You should see something like:

$ ls -l requests*
-rw-r--r--  1 johndoe  staff    164 Mar  4 10:28 requests.models.deps
-rw-r--r--  1 johndoe  staff    404 Mar  4 10:28 requests.models.dot
-rw-r--r--  1 johndoe  staff  37154 Mar  4 10:28 requests.models.png

7. Check that the requests.models.png looks like the one in the tutorial.
