startproject

Startproject is a command-line utility provided by the Django web framework, an open-source Python framework that encourages rapid development and clean, pragmatic design. The startproject command is used to create a new Django project. When executed, it generates a directory structure with several files and subdirectories that form the foundation of a Django project. This includes a settings file where project-wide configurations are stored, a URL configuration file, and a WSGI configuration file for deployment. Additionally, it creates a manage.py file, which is a command-line utility that allows developers to interact with the Django project. The startproject command simplifies the initial setup of a Django project, enabling developers to focus on building their application rather than configuring the environment.
