You can solve it removing the migrations files.

I ran into the same issue when switching to custom User model mid-project. The trick is that you will need to add the below auth dependency before creating your custom user model operation


from django.db import migrations, models


class Migration(migrations.Migration):

    initial = True

    dependencies = [
        ('auth', '0012_alter_user_first_name_max_length'), # this is the missing part
    ]

    operations = [
        migrations.CreateModel(
             .... # your custom user create model operation
        ),
    ]
