Running Python Django Project in Windows Operating System with .bat File

Django, Python  |     |  

When developing projects with Django, the constant and annoying work is to restart the project. In this post, if you are a Windows user, you can easily run your project by creating a .bat file on your desktop. I use Windows 10 as the operating system.

You can open the following lines of code with a code editor such as Visual Studio Code, Pycharm, and save it on your desktop as a .bat extension.

When you click on the file you created on the desktop, for example django_project.bat, your project will be run automatically.

If you copy the .bat file you created to the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\StartUp folder, your project will run automatically every time your computer starts.

Good luck.
