Answer 1

You need to edit alembic.ini.

Parameter that you looking for is file_template.

From docs:

file_template - this is the naming scheme used to generate new migration files. The value present is the default, so is commented out. Tokens available include:

• %%(rev)s - revision id
• %%(slug)s - a truncated string derived from the revision message
• %%(year)d, %%(month).2d, %%(day).2d, %%(hour).2d, %%(minute).2d, %%(second).2d - components of the create date, by default datetime.datetime.now() unless the timezone configuration option is also used.

By default it is set to %%(rev)s_%%(slug)s.
