This is a Blog clone project built using Django, aiming to replicate some of the core functionalities of the popular social media platform.

• User Authentication: Register and login functionalities for users.
• Create Tweets: Post short messages similar to tweets.
• Follow Users: Follow other users to see their tweets on your timeline.
• Like and Retweet: Interact with tweets by liking and retweeting.
• Search Functionality: Search for users and tweets.

To run this project locally, follow these steps:

1. Clone the repository: git clone https://github.com/younesveisi1374/Blog.git
2. Navigate to the project directory: cd Blog
3. Create a virtual environment (optional but recommended): python -m venv .venv
4. Activate the virtual environment:
   • On Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
   • On macOS and Linux: source .venv/bin/activate
5. Install the required dependencies: pip install -r requirements.txt
6. Make migrations: python manage.py makemigrations
7. Apply the database migrations: python manage.py migrate
8. Create a superuser: python manage.py createsuperuser
9. Start the development server: python manage.py runserver

Once the development server is running, access the application at http://localhost:8000 in your web browser. You can then register a new account, log in, and start using the Blog clone by creating tweets, following other users, liking, retweeting, and exploring the functionalities.
