I was trying to create migrations within an existing app using the makemigrations command but it outputs "No changes detected".
Usually I create new apps using the startapp command but did not use it for this app when I created it.
After debugging, I found that it is not creating a migration because the migrations package/folder is missing from an app.
Would it be better if it creates the folder if it is not there or am I missing something?
To create initial migrations for an app, run makemigrations and specify the app name. The migrations folder will be created.
./manage.py makemigrations <myapp>
Your app must be included in INSTALLED_APPS first (inside settings.py).
