Description

As part of my test scripts I'll usually run django-admin check and django-admin makemigrations --check --dry-run to assert nobody missed something.

Am I missing a way to hook those administrative commands with this library? Wouldn't it be interesting to have some kind of cli flag or fixture to trigger them during a pytest run?

Research direction

Start by reviewing pytest-django's existing pytest plugin and fixture entry points, then investigate how django-admin check and django-admin makemigrations --check --dry-run can be invoked during a pytest run. Done should include a defined integration mechanism and verification that both commands run as part of the test workflow.
