manage.py

manage.py is a command-line utility in Django that allows you to interact with your Django project in various ways.

Here are some key points about manage.py:

Purpose:

When you create a new Django project using the startproject command, a Python script called manage.py is automatically generated.
It resides in the root directory of your project.

Functionality:

manage.py provides several useful commands for managing your Django project.
Running the development server (runserver)
Creating database tables (migrate)
Creating a new app (startapp)
Running tests (test)
And more!

Custom Commands:

You can also create custom management commands using manage.py.
These custom commands allow you to perform specific tasks related to your project.
To create custom commands, use the management/commands directory and define a Python class that inherits from BaseCommand.
