I know that from Django 1.7 I don\'t need to use South or any other migration system, so I am just using simple command python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py makemigrations
In new_file add the boolean property null.
new_field = models.CharField(max_length=140, null=True)
after you run a ./manage.py syncdb for refresh the DB. and finally you run ./manage.py makemigrations and ./manage.py migrate
./manage.py syncdb
./manage.py makemigrations
./manage.py migrate
