Make migrations in several steps

Hi there,

In the video, Kenneth proceed to the commande 'makemigrations', but comment the class 'TrueFalseQuestion' to create the first migration ('MultipleChoiceQuestion').

And then remove comment and make migration for the class 'TrueFalseQuestion'.

I don't understand why the command 'makemigrations' is not done in one time?

Thansk for your feedback

By using makemigrations after each change you preserve what the incremental changes was. This allows you to selectively migrate changes if you choose to skip a migration. This Stack Overflow question discusses a scenario where a migration is skipped (or "faked").
