django-unmigrate 0.1.1

Smart reversion of Django migrations based on Git diff

If you are in a complex Django project, sometimes you will find yourself switching between multiple branches, some of which can add a number of database migrations. Before switching back to master you will have to unapply all migrations that are specific to the current branch. To make things worse, in order to unapply Django migrations, you have to enter the migration that comes right before the first migration of the current branch. It’s not that big of a deal, Django is smart enough to let you use an unambiguos prefix of any migration, but with this package you can speed things up a little bit.

While standing on any branch, you can use:

python manage.py unmigrate master

Or if it’s going to be master anyways, this will suffice:

python manage.py unmigrate

And that’s it!

A little deeper

Ok, you can do more than that.

Do you need to unapply your migrations from the same branch, a few commits behind? Here’s how:

python manage.py unmigrate HEAD~5
python manage.py unmigrate af332b
python manage.py unmigrate v1.33.7

If you only want to see the target migrations:

python manage.py unmigrate --dry-run

And if you just want to play with this, go ahead and unapply your migrations with fake. Just don’t forget to apply them again:

python manage.py unmigrate --fake
python manage.py migrate --fake
