Django Database Migrations

• pattern: **/migrations/000*_*.py

• Reference (where code comes from)

  • Django creates migration files everytime the makemigrations command is run to keep track of changes made upon the database schema used

• Reason for inclusion:

  • It keeps track of all the changes and migrations made on the database models

  • It helps multiple developers use a common database schema when developing the app and prevent them from committing conflicting changes to the database models

  • See more detailed reasons here:

    • Blog: Should you Commit Django Migrations to Git?
    • Stack Overflow: Should I be adding the Django migration files in the .gitignore file?

Miscellaneous Django Files

• Files:

  • manage.py
  • its_backend/asgi.py
  • its_backend/wsgi.py

• Reference (where code comes from)

  • Automatically created by Django when first starting a Django project

• Reason for inclusion:

  • manage.py manages all the CLI commands Django provides, such as

    • runserver to start the Django server
    • makemigrations to create migration files for the DB model
    • migrate to make the migrations to the DB
    • etc.

  • asgi.py and wsgi.py serve as entry points for ASGI and WSGI servers respectively
