Exploring nautobot-server CLI commands

Nautobot includes a command-line interface (CLI) management utility called nautobot-server that is used as the entry point for common administrative tasks. For those familiar with Django applications, this CLI utility works exactly as a project’s manage.py script would, except that it comes bundled with the Nautobot code and, therefore, it’s automatically installed in the bin directory of your application environment.

Since Nautobot is a Django application, several other built-in management commands are provided by Django itself. We’ll only cover some of the commands provided by either Nautobot or Django, so please read the Nautobot documentation to learn more about the available commands.
