Currently, the `makemigrations` management command doesn't lend itself
well to scripting. For example, it writes its progress output to `stdout`
rather than `stderr`. Also, there doesn't appear to be a structured /
programmatic way to figure out what files it has created.
My use case is that in my development environment, I'd like to be able to
run `makemigrations` in a Docker container, find out what files were added
(e.g. from `makemigrations`'s output), and then copy those files from the
Docker container to my development machine so they can be added to source
control.
Currently, there doesn't seem to be an easy way to do this. One way, for
example, is to manually read `makemigrations`'s output to find out what
apps were affected, and then inspect the directories yourself for the new
files.
Better, for example, would be if `makemigrations` could write the paths to
the created files to `stdout`.
