I followed the instructions on https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/5.0/ref/contrib/staticfiles/#s-customizing-the-ignored-pattern-list to override the ignore_patterns in my static files. Here are my steps:

1. Created a new app app_staticfiles.
2. in app_staticfiles/apps.py, this code:

from django.contrib.staticfiles.apps import StaticFilesConfig


class AppStaticfilesConfig(StaticFilesConfig):
    name = 'app_staticfiles'
    ignore_patterns = ["CVS", ".*", "*~", "*.map",
                       "*.min.css", "*.min.js", "*.scss"]

In original staticfiles, there is the management directory that has the following commands collectstatic and findstatic.

3. Django project settings.py modified:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ...
    # 'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'app_staticfiles',
]

Now when I run collectstatic, I get error Unknown command. Obviously since I have commented out the original app from Django. Is there a way for this to run as-is without having to copy the management commands from original place to the overwriting app?
