[Answered ]-Stopping ignoring migration files in git for a Django Project

I think the only way is to copy over all the migrations from production server to your repo then commit them. This is most likely a manual process because your production server is the only place that tracks all migrations. You don’t need to worry about how to migrate your production server because it keeps the original copy. However, all these should be done before any new migrations are added and applied.

After all is fixed, you should create new migrations in your local dev environment, add to git and push your migration to production then apply the migration. Remember to have your CI or something else check for duplicate migration files.
