django-admin startproject app #(Create main project)

All following commands are to be run from inside main app folder that we created with the first command.

python manage.py runserver #Run local server
python manage.py migrate #Run all database migrations
python manage.py makemigration #Create any new migration created file
python manage.py startapp <app_name> #Create new application within the main app folder
#application created using this command won't be automatically enabled, 
#but we need to go in app/app/settings.py and need to add our new application name at the end of INSTALLED_APPS list.
python manage.py shell #To open interactive Django shell like Tinker for Laravel

Below is a sample code that tell us how we can benefit from interactive shell. Using that we easily created two database entries using Track model of an application’s model.

>>> from tracks.models import Track
>>> Track.objects.create(title="Track 1", desc="Track 1 description...", url="https://track1.com")
<Track: Track object (1)>
>>> Track.objects.create(title="Track 2", desc="Track 2 description...", url="https://track2.com")
<Track: Track object (2)>
>>> exit()
