Laravel From Scratch - Episode 8 - Databases, Migrations and Eloquent
Migrations
Database migrations are similar to version control for code, but for database schemas. Migrations allow tracking of changes to a database over time, while also providing a method of updating or rolling back changes to the tables.
In Laravel, create a new migration using the php artisan make:migration command. Our example site is using ideas as the subject, so we can create a table to store ideas.
bash
> php artisan make:migration ┌ What should the migration be named? ─────────────────────────┐ │ create_ideas_table │ └──────────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘ INFO Migration [database/migrations/2026_02_21_051336_create_ideas_table.php] created successfully.
