### Migrations

[](#migrations)

Migrations allow you to "version control" your database. You can create tables, update tables, or perform other actions. Most migration systems have an up and down method. The up method does the desired action such as creating or updating a table. The down method does the opposite allowing you to run migrations multiple times without any issues. In addition, Chai has an update method that is ran if the migration has already been applied.

#### Getting Started

[](#getting-started)

To get started using migrations, you will need to create a console script (`bin/console`).
