+Overriding commands
|
|
|
+===================
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Django registers the built-in commands and then searches for commands in
|
|
|
+:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` in reverse. During the search, if a command name
|
|
|
+duplicates an already registered command, the newly discovered command
|
|
|
+overrides the first.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+In other words, to override a command, the new command must have the same name
|
|
|
+and its app must be before the overridden command's app in
|
|
|
+:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+Management commands from third-party apps that have been unintentionally
|
|
|
+overridden can be made available under a new name by creating a new command in
|
|
|
+one of your project's apps (ordered before the third-party app in
|
|
|
+:setting:`INSTALLED_APPS`) which imports the ``Command`` of the overridden
|
|
|
+command.
