Nomad
=====

About Nomad
-----------

[](#about-nomad)

Nomad gives you the power of Laravel's [database migrations](https://laravel.com/docs/5.8/migrations) without the need for a full Laravel installation.

This is particularly useful where you have multiple applications accessing a single database, but you aren't sure which should be responsible for managing the database schema. By extracting your migrations to a separate repository, you can maintain full version control over your database schema, without worrying about different applications trying to run the migrations on the same database.

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Nomad is built as a utility to support another repository. Learn more about this [here](https://github.com/michaeldyrynda/vagabond).

Should you choose to use the Nomad library directly, first install it using [Composer](https://getcomposer.org).

```
composer require dyrynda/nomad

```

A sample configuration file is provided in `config/database.php`, which you can change as needed for your database environment.

You may then run the `nomad` application and access the available commands.

Usage
-----

[](#usage)

For information on the available commands and their functions, be sure to check out Laravel's [migration documentation](https://laravel.com/docs/5.5/migrations).
