You can also use some aliases. Create a ~/.djangodevkitrc like this:

[aliases]
m =
    syncdb --noinput
    migrate --noinput
si =
    schemamigration --initial []
sm =
    schemamigration --auto []

[] is replace with command line arguments. This mean that:

$ django-manage sm myapp

is equal to:

$ ./manage.py schemamigration --auto myapp
