## What it is
A Django admin theme that restyles the built-in Django admin interface using Twitter Bootstrap. It requires no code modifications—simply add it to INSTALLED_APPS before django.contrib.admin.

## Use cases
- make the Django admin look like Bootstrap
- restyle Django admin without rewriting templates
- add Bootstrap styling to Django admin forms and messages
- add drag-and-drop sorting to Django admin inlines
- inject custom HTML into Django admin change forms

## When to choose
- you are on Django 1.8 (or 1.6/1.7 with older versions) and want a Bootstrap-styled admin
- you want a drop-in admin theme with zero template changes
- you need sortable inlines or custom change-form HTML in the Django admin

## When to avoid
- you use a modern Django version (2.x+), since the project is pinned to Django 1.8
- you want an actively maintained admin theme—consider alternatives like django-jazzmin or unfold
- you need Bootstrap 5 or custom design control beyond theming
