As of 1.7 migrations within Django replaces South.

Create a new set of migration instructions by running the following command in terminal:

$ python manage.py makemigrations

Check the output in the migration folder it creates to make sure they make sense then run the following terminal command to complete the migrations:

$ python manage.py migrate

That's it.

Running migrations this way allows others to implement the same migrations instead of having to manually implement db changes on every machine using the code. On the new machine all they have to run is:

$ python manage.py migrate
