# Easy Django CLI

A modern CLI tool that simplifies Django development by replacing `python manage.py` and `django-admin` commands with simpler `django` or `dj` commands.

## Features

- **Simpler commands**: Use `django` or `dj` instead of `python manage.py`
- **Smart project detection**: Automatically finds your `manage.py` file
- **Drop-in replacement**: Works with all Django management commands
- **Zero configuration**: Just install and use

## Installation

### Using uv (recommended)

```bash
uv pip install easy-django-cli
```

### Using pip

```bash
pip install easy-django-cli
```

## Usage

After installation, you can use `django` or `dj` commands instead of `python manage.py`:

### Before (traditional Django)

```bash
python manage.py runserver
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
python manage.py shell
```

### After (with easy-django-cli)

```bash
django runserver
django makemigrations
django migrate
django createsuperuser
django shell
```

Or use the even shorter `dj` alias:

```bash
dj runserver
dj makemigrations
dj migrate
dj createsuperuser
dj shell
```

## How It Works

`easy-django-cli` automatically:

1. Searches for `manage.py` in the current directory
2. If found, executes commands through your project's `manage.py`
3. If not found, falls back to `django-admin` for project creation and other admin commands

This means you can run Django commands from any subdirectory of your project!

## Examples

### Start the development server

```bash
django runserver
# or
dj runserver 0.0.0.0:8000
```

### Create and apply migrations

```bash
django makemigrations
django migrate
```

### Create a new Django project

```bash
django startproject myproject
```

### Create a new app

```bash
django startapp myapp
```

### Run tests

```bash
django test
```

### Open Django shell

```bash
django shell
```

### Collect static files

```bash
django collectstatic --noinput
```
