Brian #1: New project to shorten django-admin to django because we are not monsters Jeff Tripplet has created django-cli-no-admin to shorten django-admin to just django.“One of the biggest mysteries in Django is why I have to run django-admin from my terminal instead of just running django. Confusingly, django-admin has nothing to do with Django’s admin app.”Instead of typing things like: django-admin startproject mysite projectnameWe can type the shorter: django startproject mysite projectnameI love this kind of developer speedup / comfort improvementsAnd yes, Jeff wants Django to eventually include this as the default way to run the command line utilities.
