You may use the make:migration Artisan command to generate a database migration. Typically, migrations will use this facade to create and modify database tables and columns. The Laravel Schema facade provides database agnostic support for creating and manipulating tables across all of Laravel's supported database systems. If you have ever had to tell a teammate to manually add a column to their local database schema after pulling in your changes from source control, you've faced the problem that database migrations solve. Migrations are like version control for your database, allowing your team to define and share the application's database schema definition.
