Three Steps to Make Model Changes:

1. Change your models in models.py.
2. Run the command python manage.py makemigrations to create migrations for those changes.
3. Run the command python manage.py migrate to apply those changes to the database.

Why are there separate commands? To commit migrations to a version control system.
