Django, is moved from the contribution intro to the submitting patches
docs. This makes it easier for reviewers and authors to follow best
practices.

Testing with a Django project
=============================
It's important to test local changes using a Django project. This allows
ensuring that the changes behave as expected in a real environment, especially
for user-facing features such as templates, forms, or the admin.
To do this:
#. Create a virtual environment and :ref:`install the cloned copy of Django in
editable mode <intro-contributing-install-local-copy>`.
#. Set up a Django project outside the source tree (you can use the :doc:`first
part of the tutorial </intro/tutorial01>` for guidance).
With this setup, any changes made to the Django checkout will take effect
immediately in the test project, allowing manual testing of contributions
against a new or existing app.
