adding a url in django-template - django

Question

i tried to add a url in django template which is supposedly to log out a user
<div>logout</div>
but it threw a NoReverseMatch
the template:
<header class="grid-header header">
<div class='logo-text'>Nitro fleet</div>
<div class="profile-detail">
{% if user.is_authenticated %}
<img class="profile-img" src="{{user.picture.url}}" />
<div>
<div>{{user.username}}</div>
<div>logout</div>
</div>
{%endif%}
</div>
</header>
the url of the app (accounts) that has the logout view:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
appname = 'accounts'
urlpatterns = [
path('register', views.register_view , name='user_register'),
path('login', views.user_login , name='user_login'),
path('logout', views.user_logout , name='user_logout'),
]
the view function:
def user_logout(request):
logout(request)
return HttpResponseRedirect(request.path_info)
the complete error log:
NoReverseMatch at /maintenance/

Just use the name of the view:
{% url 'accounts:user_logout' %}
