Migration from "ai_django_core"
This package was previously known as ai_django_core. Due to the
misleading nature of the name, we chose to rename it with something more meaningful.
The migration is really simple, just:

Install ambient-toolbox and remove the dependency to ai-django-core
Search and replace all usages of from ai_django_core... to from ambient_toolbox...
The class-based mail functionality was moved to a separate package called
django-pony-express.

Installation

Install the package via pip:
pip install ambient_toolbox
or via pipenv:
pipenv install ambient_toolbox

Add module to INSTALLED_APPS within the main django settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
...
'ambient_toolbox',
)

Apply migrations by running:
python ./manage.py migrate

Git hooks (via pre-commit)
We use pre-push hooks to ensure that only linted code reaches our remote repository and pipelines aren't triggered in
vain.
To enable the configured pre-push hooks, you need to install pre-commit and run once:
pre-commit install -t pre-push -t pre-commit --install-hooks

This will permanently install the git hooks for both, frontend and backend, in your local
.git/hooks folder.
The hooks are configured in the .pre-commit-config.yaml.
You can check whether hooks work as intended using the run command:
pre-commit run [hook-id] [options]

Example: run single hook
pre-commit run ruff --all-files --hook-stage push

Example: run all hooks of pre-push stage
pre-commit run --all-files --hook-stage push
