  Django will also accept URLs (\fBhttp\fP, \fBhttps\fP, \fBftp\fP) to compressed
  archives with the project template files, downloading and extracting them on the
  fly.
  .sp
  For example, taking advantage of GitHub\(aqs feature to expose repositories as
  zip files, you can use a URL like:
  .INDENT 0.0
  .INDENT 3.5
  .sp
  .nf
  .ft C
 
</s> remove .INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin startproject \-\-template=/Users/jezdez/Code/my_project_template myproject

As with the \fI\%startapp\fP command, the \fB\-\-template\fP option lets you
specify a directory, file path or URL of a custom project template. See the
\fI\%startapp\fP documentation for details of supported project template
formats.
.sp
For example, this would look for a project template in the given directory
when creating the \fBmyproject\fP project:
 </s> add  </s> remove django\-admin runserver \-\-no\-color
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT

.sp
By default, \fBdjango\-admin\fP will format the output to be colorized. For
example, errors will be printed to the console in red and SQL statements will
be syntax highlighted. To prevent this and have a plain text output, pass the
\fB\-\-no\-color\fP option when running your command.
.SH COMMON OPTIONS
.sp
The following options are not available on every command, but they are common
to a number of commands.
.INDENT 0.0
.TP
.B \-\-database
.UNINDENT
.sp
Used to specify the database on which a command will operate. If not
specified, this option will default to an alias of \fBdefault\fP\&.
.sp
For example, to dump data from the database with the alias \fBmaster\fP:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin dumpdata \-\-database=master
 </s> add django\-admin migrate \-\-verbosity 2 </s> remove .SS makemessages
 </s> add .SS Loading fixtures from \fBstdin\fP
.sp

.sp
You can use a dash as the fixture name to load input from \fBsys.stdin\fP\&. For
example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin loaddata \-\-format=json \-
.ft P
.fi
.UNINDENT
.UNINDENT
.sp
When reading from \fBstdin\fP, the \fI\%\-\-format\fP option
is required to specify the serialization format
of the input (e.g., \fBjson\fP or \fBxml\fP).
.sp
Loading from \fBstdin\fP is useful with standard input and output redirections.
For example:
.INDENT 0.0
.INDENT 3.5
.sp
.nf
.ft C
django\-admin dumpdata \-\-format=json \-\-database=test app_label.ModelName | django\-admin loaddata \-\-format=json \-\-database=prod \-
.ft P
