django-devsync 0.1.2

Wipe migrations, reset the dev database, and sync Django models — for dev mode only.

django-devsync

A tiny command-line tool that mimics synchronize: true from TypeORM — but for Django.

Strictly for development use. Never use in production.

---

What It Does

In early-stage development, database schemas change fast and migrations get messy. django-devsync helps you:

• Delete all migration files
• Reset your local DB schema
• Run makemigrations and migrate from scratch

All with a single command.

---

Don't Use In Production 🛑

This tool WILL destroy data and has minimal safeguards.

---

Installation

pip install django-devsync

---

Usage

devsync --delete_migrations --reset_db --run_sync

or

python -m django_devsync --delete_migrations --reset_db --run_sync

If no flags are passed, it runs all steps.

Flags

Flag	Description
--delete_migrations	Delete all .py and .pyc files in migrations/ directories
--reset_db	Drop all tables/schemas in your local DB (SQLite/PostgreSQL/MySQL)
--run_sync	Run makemigrations and migrate

---

Example

devsync

or

python -m django_devsync

Output:

No specific flags passed — running ALL steps:
• Deleting all migrations
• Resetting the database
• Running makemigrations and migrate

All done!

---

Supported Databases

• SQLite
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

Uses Django's DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] to detect backend.

---

How It Works

• Prompts for your DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE (unless set in env)
• Verifies DEBUG=True before proceeding
• Uses Django internals: call_command("makemigrations"), etc.
• Drops and recreates schemas/tables directly with SQL
