Django Migrations - how to insert just one model?

Question

I just made a mess in my local Django project and realized that somehow I'm out of sync with my migrations. I tried to apply initial and realized that some of the tables already exist, so I tried --fake. This made the migration pass, but now I'm missing the one table I just wanted to add... how can I prepare migration just for one model or make Django re-discover what my database is missing and create that?

Answer 1

I was using a models directory. Adding an import of the model to __init__.py allowed me to control whether it's visible to makemigrations or not. I found that using strace.
