Skip django migrate default table

Question

I use django-admin startproject to create a new project, then use python manage.py migrate .

I find there are some tables will create by default.

I want migrate my tables only when I run python manage.py migrate . Is it possible to skip the default?

By default, INSTALLED_APPS contains django.contrib.admin and django.contrib.auth apps (along with few other apps). These apps are part of Django. These apps are optional, and can be removed if you do not need functionality they provide (See: Run django application without django.contrib.admin ).

python manage.py makemigrations will create the migrations files for all the changes to models in all the apps .
Andpython manage.py migrate will apply previously computed migrations to the database.

When you have multiple apps, use python manage.py makemigrations [app_name] , and python manage.py migrate [app_name] to limit these operations to specific app.
