django migrate add new field to existing table
Initialize migrations for your existing models:
./manage.py makemigrations myapp
Fake migrations for existing models:
./manage.py migrate --fake myapp
Add the new field to myapp.models:
from django.db import models
class MyModel(models.Model):
... #existing fields
newfield = models.CharField(max_length=100) #new field
Run makemigrations again (this will add a new migration file in migrations folder that add the newfield to db):
./manage.py makemigrations myapp
Run migrate again:
./manage.py migrate myapp
Are there any code examples left?
