🚨 Do not merge until after 1 April 2020 🚨 Once this date has past we no longer need to give any services the previous allowances, so we can remove them from the codebase to avoid confusion. It’s possible we change the allowance structure again, but it might change in a way that this config-based logic doesn’t account for (what if we did a per-organisation allowance for example). Having both years’ allowances in the config was a quick fix, not a foundation to build on.

Common tasks
Updating application dependencies
requirements.txt is generated from the requirements.in in order to pin versions of all nested dependencies. If requirements.in has been changed, run make freeze-requirements to regenerate it.
Automatically rebuild the frontend assets
If you want the front end assets to re-compile on changes, leave this running in a separate terminal from the app
