How can I skip a migration with Django migrate command?

Question

First, I am asking about Django migration introduced in 1.7, not south.

Suppose I have migrations 001_add_field_x, 002_add_field_y

Answer 1

You can use the --fake option.

Once you revert to 0001 you can run

python manage.py migrate <app> 0002 --fake

and then run

python manage.py migrate <app> #Optionally specify 0003 explicitly

which would apply only 0003 in this case.

If you do not want to follow this process for all the environment/other developers, you can just remove the migration files, and run a new makemigration, and commit that file - and yes, do run migrate with the --fake option
