and then move where manage.py file resides in our case checker
There is a django package sentry-sdk I installed because this is a must-have tool for any Django project as it’s key that we stay informed about all the code-based issues in the application. But it is supposed to be downloaded on your system too using $ pip install --upgrade sentry-sdk its configuration is already added.
