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.
