```

  $ Align Additional Migration File
```

Fresh and Seed Data
-------------------

[](#fresh-and-seed-data-1)

This command simplifies the process of updating a migration file in a production environment. Instead of creating a new migration file with the current date, it aligns the new file immediately after the main migration file for the table. This makes it easier to find and manage migration files, keeping the structure well-organized.

  $ php artisan table:col {type} {column_name} {table}
```
