Django: When to run makemigrations?

Question

In addition to adding/deleting/modifying field to model, Django also detects changes when I add or modify methods to the model.

So my question is should I run make

Answer 1

First of all,

./manage makemigrations

will create (migration_number).py files in your app migrations folders. These lines of code are nothing but statements which help in creating actual fields in your respective database similar to SQL statements.

In order to execute the migration which was created using the previous command, we will run the following command,

./manage.py migrate

On migrate your new model fields will be reflected in database if there are no errors
