Start with your AI

Paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or another AI coding assistant. It copies the template into your own private repo, deploys it to Elula and gives you the live URL.

Start a new project from the Django template at https://github.com/vercel/vercel/tree/main/examples/django and deploy it to Elula: copy the folder into a new private GitHub repo, install the Elula CLI if needed, then run elula init --database and elula deploy --no-wait. A deploy takes a few minutes: run elula status --wait 60 until it says Live, and tell me which step it's on each time. Run elula docs if anything is unclear. Give me the live URL.

Deploy on Elula

Prefer the terminal? Start your own private copy and ship it with the CLI.

npx degit vercel/vercel/examples/django#main my-django
cd my-django && git init && git add -A && git commit -m "Start from the Django template"
gh repo create my-django --private --source . --push
elula init --database
elula env secret SECRET_KEY=...
elula env secret ALLOWED_HOSTS=...
elula deploy

Deploy from the dashboard Install the CLI

Clone the repo

git clone --depth 1 --filter=blob:none --sparse -b main https://github.com/vercel/vercel.git
