# We override the original staticfiles app according to https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.2/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#customizing-the-ignored-pattern-list
# However, this is buggy and requires us to have an exact naming of the class like this to be detected
# Also, it requires to create all commands in management/commands again or they don't get detected by django
# Workaround originates from https://stackoverflow.com/a/78724835/12640533
