Management Commands
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

The APIS history plugin, based on `django-simple-history`, provides several management commands to help curate history objects. Here are some of the most useful commands:

1. Populate History Tables
--------------------------

.. code-block:: bash
python manage.py populate_history --auto
This command populates history tables with the current state of the models. It's particularly useful when you've added `VersionMixin` to an existing model. The `--auto` flag applies the command to all tracked models, or you can specify a list of models instead.

2. Clean Duplicate History Entries
----------------------------------

.. code-block:: bash
python manage.py clean_duplicate_history --auto
This command removes duplicate history entries. `django-simple-history` creates a history object every time `save()` is called on an object, regardless of whether any changes were made. This command deletes history objects that are identical to the previous entry.

3. Remove Old History Entries
-----------------------------

.. code-block:: bash
python manage.py clean_old_history --days 60 --auto
This command deletes history entries older than the specified number of days (60 in this example).

For more information on these and other management commands, refer to the `django-simple-history documentation <https://django-simple-history.readthedocs.io/en/latest/utils.html>`_.
