Django Migrate Fresh 🚀

A simple Django package that provides Laravel-style migrate:fresh functionality - drop all tables and re-run migrations with optional backup support.

Installation

pip install django-migrate-fresh

Add to your INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    # ... your other apps
    'django_migrate_fresh',
]

Usage

Basic Usage

Drop all tables and re-run migrations:

python manage.py migrate_fresh

With Backup

Create a backup before running:

python manage.py migrate_fresh --backup

Specify backup path:

python manage.py migrate_fresh --backup --backup-path my_backup.sql

Force Mode (No Confirmations)

Skip all confirmations:

python manage.py migrate_fresh --force

Command Options

• --force: Skip all confirmation prompts
• --backup: Create a backup before dropping tables
• --backup-path PATH: Specify custom backup file path

Interactive Mode

When run without --force, the command will ask:

1. Backup confirmation: "Do you want to create a backup before proceeding?"
2. Path input (if backup selected): Prompts for backup file path
3. Final confirmation: "Are you sure you want to continue?"

Database Support

• PostgreSQL: Uses pg_dump for backups
• MySQL: Uses mysqldump for backups
• SQLite: Simple file copy for backups

Example Session

$ python manage.py migrate_fresh
