I wouldn't mind having these in the project template. They're already the
example values in the docs. It could make it slightly easier for beginners.
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
'APP_DIRS': True,
}
]
