Using specific Django LTS version with cookiecutter-django
Currently, the Cookiecutter Django template uses Django 5.0, which is not a long-term support (LTS) release.
I couldn't find clear instructions in their documentation on how to specify a different Django version during installation.
I'd like to use Django 4.2 with cookiecutter-django since it has LTS support until 2026. How can I do this?
The template aims to use the most recent version of Django possible* and was updated to Django 5.0 fairly recently. I don't think any 5.0 only feature are used, so you should be able to just downgrade the Django version to 4.2 in the requirements file.
*It's not yet using 5.1, we need to update but it's often the case of waiting for the ecosystem of packages to catch up first.
