Migrating to django 1.7 migrations

README

Scenario:
  You have a long-running branch to upgrade your existing codebase to django 1.7.
  You've previously used south, and your existing deployment includes schema changes since the
  base of the django-1.7 upgrade branch.

  You need to re-create django (core) migrations periodically since you can't merge
  south migrations into core migrations.

  (Assumes commands are run from root of project and that apps are top-level directories  Adjust pathing if that is not the case.)

gistfile1.sh

# delete all *.pyc and all non .py other than __init__.py in all migration directories:
find . -type f -ipath '*/migrations/*' \( -iname '*.pyc' -o \( -not -iname '__init__.py' \) \) -delete

# make migrations directories and packages so that `manage.py makemigrations`
# will activate from that app
find . -type d -maxdepth 1 | xargs -I{} mkdir {}/migrations
find . -type d -maxdepth 1 | xargs -I{} touch {}/migrations/__init__.py

# inspects your project and adds all marked apps.
python manage.py makemigrations
