Comment (by Natalia Bidart):
I've been investigating other resources to check what they do, and I think
there is enough variation/confusion that we should take a stance and
improve our tutorial. Some links showing how `startproject` is used:
* [https://realpython.com/django-setup/ Your First Steps With Django: Set
Up a Django Project] uses `django-admin startproject setup` but it has a
long and arguably confusing/distracting note about why the duplicated
`setup` folder
* [https://realpython.com/get-started-with-django-1/ Get Started With
Django: Build a Portfolio App] uses `django-admin startproject
personal_portfolio .` but it needs to clarify that ''Don’t forget to add
the dot (.) at the end of the command above. '' since it can be easily
missed.
* [https://tutorial.djangogirls.org/en/django_start_project/ Django Girls
Tutorial: Your first Django project!] uses `django-admin startproject
mysite .` and it also needs to clarify how crucial the dot is.
I'll go back to the first PR created for this issue and review with this
in mind, will post updates afterwards.
