Add comprehensive GitHub Copilot instructions for Daily Office 2019 development

Open Copilot opened this issue 8 months ago • 1 comments

This PR adds a comprehensive .github/copilot-instructions.md file that provides detailed guidance for GitHub Copilot coding agents working on the Daily Office 2019 project.

What's Included

The instructions cover the complete development workflow for this Django + Vue.js application:

Project Setup:

  • Environment configuration with all required variables
  • Database setup (PostgreSQL with provided SQL dump)
  • Python virtual environment creation
  • Node.js dependency installation

Build Process:

  • Static site generation via django-distill
  • Asset collection and management
  • Makefile usage for automated builds

Development Workflow:

  • Django development server setup
  • Code formatting with Black (line length 119)
  • Pre-commit hooks and linting
  • Testing and validation procedures

Key Issues Documented

The instructions address several critical development challenges:

Network Timeouts:

  • PyPI package installation frequently times out - documented with specific timeout/retry parameters
  • FontAwesome Pro dependencies require authentication - documented as known limitation

Build Timing:

  • Static site generation takes 5-45 minutes - includes "NEVER CANCEL" warnings
  • Specific timeout recommendations (60+ minutes) for all long-running operations

Environment Requirements:

  • Complete list of all required environment variables for Django startup
  • Development values provided for all API keys and secrets

Validation

The instructions were validated through actual testing of:

  • Database import (confirmed ~4 seconds)
  • Backend Node.js setup (confirmed ~2 minutes)
  • Python environment creation and partial dependency installation
  • Environment variable requirements through Django startup attempts

This ensures the instructions provide accurate, tested guidance that will work for any developer setting up the project from scratch.

Fixes #196.
