• Archive Notice: Statement that Compass v2 is being built privately with contact information
• Live Demo URLs: Links to frontend (dira.manassehgitau.com) and backend API (api-compass.manassehgitau.com/swagger)
• Overview: Project description covering Django REST + React/Tailwind stack with role-based access control
• Installation: Separate setup instructions for backend (Django) and frontend (React/Vite)
• Usage: User role matrix (Super Admin, Admin, Management Lead, Grant Officer) and core features
• Development: Project structure, running dev servers, and linting commands
• Deployment: Docker deployment overview with super admin creation instructions
• Contributing: Guidelines reflecting proprietary ownership by Nisria.Inc

Key Sections

# Installation
## Backend Setup (Django)
- Virtual environment + requirements.txt

- Migrations and superuser creation

## Frontend Setup (React)
- npm install + dev server

# Deployment
- Docker deployment with super admin setup
- Reference to CONTABO-SETUP.md for detailed instructions

Additional Files Created

• documents/CONTABO-SETUP.md: Comprehensive deployment guide including:
  • Server setup and Docker installation
  • Environment variable configuration
  • Super admin creation process
  • SSL/TLS configuration
  • Database backup procedures
  • Monitoring and troubleshooting

All shell commands verified against actual package.json scripts, docker-compose configuration, and project structure. Navigation includes "Back to top" links and full table of contents.

Original prompt

write readme for this project use the templae below

Project Title

The project title is a level 1 heading (<h1>Project Title</h1> or # Project Title).

If your project has a name, then this is where it would go.

If your project does not have a name, you can use this space to explain the project. For example, code repositories of research papers usually have the paper title here.

You can also add your branding in a cover image. It makes the README unique and gets people's attention quickly.

Wait, I forgot something. You can use this README as a template from this link.

I usually prefer the dimensions 1280×650. It has worked well for me so far. I can also reuse it as my social preview image for the repo.

Below the title, you will see some badges. These can be used to show the status of the project.

The badges used here were generated with shields.io.

You can add a workflow status badge to indicate the status of your workflows in your README. This can used to answer questions like, is the build working? or are the e2e tests passing?.

The badges used here are explained below:

: Shows the current release version.

: Shows the last commit time. Good indication of the project activity.

: Dynamic badge that shows the number of open issues in the project.

: Similar dynamic badge, but for pull requests.

: Shows the open source license the project uses.

Quick Start Demo

I believe that you should bring value to the reader as soon as possible. You should be able to get the user up and running with your project with minimal friction.

If you have a quickstart guide, this is where it should be.

Alternatively, you can add a demo to show what your project can do.

Table of Contents

This is a table of contents for your project. It helps the reader navigate through the README quickly.

• Project Title
• Quick Start Demo
• Table of Contents
• Installation
• Usage
• Development
• Contribute
• License

Installation

(Back to top)

Note: For longer README files, I usually add a "Back to top" buttton as shown above. It makes it easy to navigate.

This is where your installation instructions go.

You can add snippets here that your readers can copy-paste with click:

gh repo clone navendu-pottekkat/awesome-readme

Usage

(Back to top)

Next, you have to explain how to use your project. You can create subsections under here to explain more clearly.

Development

(Back to top)

You have people who want to use your project and then you have people who want contribute to your project.

This is where you provide instructions for the latter.

Add instructions on how to set up a development environment, clone, and build the project.

You can use the code snippets here as well:

command to clone your project
command to build your project
command to run your project in development mode

Contribute

(Back to top)

You can use this section to highlight how people can contribute to your project.

You can add information on how they can open issues or how they can sponsor the project....

💡 Add Copilot custom instructions for smarter, more guided reviews. Learn how to get started.

[Copilot]

The README suggests using flake8 for backend linting, but flake8 is not included in the nisria-backend/requirements.txt file. Consider either adding flake8 to the requirements.txt file or removing this linting instruction from the README until a linting tool is properly configured.

Suggested change

	Backend:
	```shell
	cd nisria-backend
	flake8 .
	```

[Copilot]

The README documents running backend tests with 'python manage.py test', but there don't appear to be any test files in the nisria-backend directory. Consider either adding tests to the backend or clarifying in the documentation that tests are not yet implemented for the backend.

@copilot apply changes based on this feedback

[Copilot]

The feedback has been applied in commit a1db3f4. The README now clarifies that test files are stubs and test implementations need to be added (lines 245 and 252).
