## What it is
A Python CLI tool that automatically upgrades Django project code to newer Django versions by rewriting source files. It integrates with pre-commit and applies automated fixes for deprecated or changed Django APIs.

## Use cases
- upgrade django project to a newer version
- automatically fix deprecated django code
- migrate codebase after django version bump
- run django codemods in pre-commit
- update settings and imports for new django releases

## When to choose
- you maintain a Django project upgrading across versions and want automated code fixes
- you want repeatable upgrade fixes wired into pre-commit or CI

## When to avoid
- your project does not use Django
- you need full manual migration guidance rather than automated code rewrites
