 ## Setup for development
 
+`direnv` automatically loads and unloads environment variables from your `.envrc` file on your current directory. Install this via `brew`:
+
+```bash
+brew install direnv
+```
+
+Use this template for a `.envrc` file and adjust the values as needed.
+
+```envrc
+export DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE=rango.settings.dev
+export POSTGRES_DB=django
+export POSTGRES_HOST=localhost
+export POSTGRES_USER=postgres
+export POSTGRES_PASSWORD=postgres
+export POSTGRES_PORT=5432
+```

+Each time you modify `.envrc`, run `direnv allow` to reload the environment variables.
