Unapplied migrations on clean clone

Comienza reproduciendo la configuración de un clon limpio con requirements.txt y manage.py runserver, y después inspecciona cómo esta ruta de inicio gestiona las migraciones de Django. Confirma el comportamiento esperado después del cambio de inicio correspondiente repitiendo los pasos indicados y comprobando si la advertencia de migraciones no aplicadas sigue apareciendo.

Right after cloning this repo and running it, I get a warning in red text that reads:

You have 18 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Use any reasonable Linux machine (in my case, an up-to-date CachyOS install)
2. git clone git@github.com:Azure-Samples/msdocs-python-django-webapp-quickstart.git
3. cd msdocs-python-django-webapp-quickstart/
4. python -m venv .venv
5. source .venv/bin/activate.fish (I use the Fish shell, but should make no difference)
6. pip install -r requirements.txt
7. python manage.py runserver
8. Observe

Entire output:

~/(...)/msdocs-python-django-webapp-quickstart main
.venv ❯ python manage.py runserver
