Hi,
You can't. Management commands are always tied to an app.
That said, many people have an overly-narrow view of what an "app" must
be. A Django "app" can be any Python package at all that you include a
reference to in your INSTALLED_APPS setting. It doesn't need to have
models, or urls, or views. For instance, I often list my top-level
project package in INSTALLED_APPS as an "app", just so I can put e.g.
management commands or template tags there, if they are really
project-wide utilities that don't naturally fit in any sub-package/app.
Note of course that which app contains a management command has no
practical effect on its use (except when it comes to overriding
management commands and the ordering of `INSTALLED_APPS`).
