Usage

Creating a New Project

# Basic project creation (in current directory)
dj startproject myproject

# Create project with a specific template
dj startproject myproject template_name

# Create project in a specific directory
dj startproject myproject template_name path/to/directory

Creating a New App

# Basic app creation
dj startapp myapp

# Create app with a specific template
dj startapp myapp template_name

# Create app in a specific directory
dj startapp myapp template_name path/to/directory

Motivation

The django-admin CLI is a powerful tool for managing Django projects, but it has some limitations:

1. The default app template lacks common files like urls.py
2. Project creation always creates a nested directory structure
3. Template usage requires verbose command-line options

djazz-cli addresses these issues by:

• Providing better default templates
• Simplifying the command interface
• Creating projects in the current directory by default
• Making template usage more straightforward

Templates

Project Templates

• default: Enhanced version of Django's default project template
