1. In your terminal/command line run the following command:

   pip install django-truncate

2. Add "django_truncate" to your INSTALLED_APPS in the settings.py file:

     ...
     'django_truncate',
   ]

3. And that's it! you're now ready to use it.

Usage & Options

There is two simple options that will make it easier for you to truncate your tables:

1. --apps: This command will take the name of the apps you want truncate it's data, by default it will truncate all the tables:

   python manage.py truncate --apps appone apptwo

2. --models: After you enter the app name enter the Model(s) name(s) If you don't want to truncate all of the tables:

   python manage.py truncate --apps appone --models Model3

   Note: if you don't write the name of the app the truncate will stop and you'll see an error message in the terminal
