# Migrating from Model Mommy

Model Bakery has a [Python script](https://github.com/model-bakers/model_bakery/blob/main/utils/from_mommy_to_bakery.py) to help you to migrate your project\'s test code from Model Mommy to Model Bakery. This script will rename recipe files and replace legacy imports by the new ones.

**From your project\'s root dir**, execute the following commands:

```console
$ pip uninstall model_mommy
$ pip install model_bakery
$ wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/model-bakers/model_bakery/main/utils/from_mommy_to_bakery.py
$ python from_mommy_to_bakery.py --dry-run  # will list the files that'll be changed
$ python from_mommy_to_bakery.py            # migrate from model_mommy to model_bakery
$ python manage.py test
```

This command will only migrate `*.py` files. Any other file type such as `tox.ini`, `requirements.txt` etc, have to be updated manually.
