How do I create a Django management command?

To create a Django management command, you need to create a new Python file in the management/commands directory of your app.

What should the file name be?

The file name should be descriptive of what the command does, and it should be in lowercase with underscores, like my_command.py.

Do I need to import anything specific in the file?

Yes, you need to import BaseCommand from django.core.management.base and then create a class that inherits from it.

Can you show me a simple example?

Sure! Here's a basic example:

from django.core.management.base import BaseCommand

class Command(BaseCommand):
    help = 'Description of your command'

    def handle(self, *args, **options):
        self.stdout.write('Hello, World!')

This command will print 'Hello, World!' when executed.
