[Django]-How to get a list of all custom Django commands in a project?

You can also load django commands using a django module.

To get a list of all custom Django commands in a project, you can use the from django.core.management import get_commands. This get_commands function returns a dictionary of all available commands and their associated applications from the running application.

Here is an example of how you can use this function to display all commands and their associated applications:

from django.core.management import get_commands

commands = get_commands()
print([command for command in commands.items()])

#sample output 

$ [('check', 'django.core'),
 ('compilemessages', 'django.core'),
 ('createcachetable', 'django.core'),
 ('dbshell', 'django.core'),
 ('diffsettings', 'django.core'),
 ('dumpdata', 'django.core'),
 ('flush', 'django.core'),
 ('inspectdb', 'django.core'),
 ('loaddata', 'django.core'),
 ('makemessages', 'commands'),
 ('makemigrations', 'django_migration_linter'),
 ('migrate', 'django.core'),
 ('runserver', 'django.contrib.staticfiles'),
 ('sendtestemail', 'django.core'),
 ('shell', 'django.core'),
]

If you want to display only the commands for a specific application, you can filter the results of get_commands() using the following code:

[command for command in commands.items() if command[1] == 'app_name']

Replace ‘app_name’ with the name of the application you want to display the commands for.
