The most commonly used Rails commands and their Django equivalents
| Rails | Django |
|---|---|
| rails console | manage.py shell |
| rails server | manage.py runserver |
| rake | None |
| rails generate | None |
| rails dbconsole | manage.py dbshell |
| rails app_name | django-admin.py startproject/manage.py startapp |
| rake db:create | manage.py syncdb |
The salient points to note are,
- Django has all commands via
manage.py, Rails has it broken intorailsandrake. - Overall there are more Rails+Rake commands available than Django commands
- There is no one to one mapping between Rails and Django commands. Eg. There are no equivalent to rake doc:* or rake notes in Django.
Similarly there is no equivalent to manage.py createsuperuser in rails.

Thanks for your article,
Havent you made a mistake with the django “server” command? I think the right command is “runserver” !
Yours,
All django commands are NOT all in manage.py !
manage.py startproject => that don’t exists
(how can you have a manage.py before the creation of the project?)
Alexis: Have updated. many thanks. Michael: Thanks! Have updated as well.
