What are Django migration commands and how do I use them?

Django migration commands are used to manage changes to your database schema. They help you create, apply, and manage database migrations.

Can you explain the difference between 'makemigrations' and 'migrate'?

'makemigrations' creates new migration files based on the changes you made to your models, while 'migrate' applies those migrations to the database.

What happens if I forget to run 'makemigrations' before 'migrate'?

If you forget to run 'makemigrations', Django won't know about the changes in your models, and the 'migrate' command won't apply any new changes.

How can I view the current state of migrations?

You can use the command 'python manage.py showmigrations' to see the current state of all migrations in your project.
