💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'setup-python' instead of 'checkout' in the first step.

Trying to run commands before checking out the code.

The actions/checkout action is used to check out your repository code so the workflow can access it.

💡 Hint

Common Mistakes

Using 'migrate' instead of 'test' to run tests.

Using 'runserver' instead of 'collectstatic' to collect static files.

python manage.py test runs tests, and python manage.py collectstatic --noinput collects static files without prompts.
