django-migration-compass

What is it?

Django migration compass is a tool to guide your django migrations through git branch switches.

It is a git hook that keeps your django migrations in sync with your repository as you move around.

Note: the packages and executable are still named django-south because I haven't changed them yet, but there are no dependencies on South. This is meant for Django 1.7+

Installation

$ pip install django-south-compass

Usage

Go to your git repo and do:

$ django-south-compass install

This will set up a git hook so that whenever you checkout a branch, your migrations are synced up.

E.g.

$ git branch
    * master
    feature1
    feature2

$ git checkout feature1
# Migrates to any new migrations added in feature1

$ git checkout master
# Migrates back to the last migration in master

$ git checkout feature2
# Migrates to any new migrations added in feature2

$ git checkout feature1
# Migrates back to the last migration common between
# feature1 and feature2, then migrates forward to feature1

Django migration compass was almost entirely written by agiliq. I just tweaked it for modern Django.
