First a side note: Please do not post images of code, templates, etc. Copy/paste the relevant text into the body of your post, marked as pre-formatted text.

The Django code resides in the `site-packages` directory within the Python (virtual) environment that you are using for your project.

Mostly In django Project, You have django project folder, created apps folder, may be .github folder and virtual env.

- You can find source code in: .venv\Lib\site-packages
- To build similar one, you can also check code of django project folder and created apps folder

I think clear code snippet will be more helpful to suggest you best
