django-admin: Create a new Django project.
$ django-admin startproject ${project_name}
try on your machine

The command "django-admin startproject ${project_name}" is a command-line command used to create a new Django project.

Here's an explanation of each part of the command:

  • "django-admin": This refers to the Django admin utility. It is a command-line tool used to manage various aspects of Django projects.
  • "startproject": This is the specific command that tells the Django admin utility to create a new project.
  • "${project_name}": This represents a placeholder for the name of the project that you want to create. You need to replace "${project_name}" with the actual name you want to give to your project.

For example, if you want to create a Django project called "my_project", the command would be: django-admin startproject my_project

This command will then generate the necessary project structure and files, allowing you to start developing your Django application.

This explanation was created by an AI. In most cases those are correct. But please always be careful and never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
