Laravel migrate:to-branch

This is a Laravel Artisan command to rollback migrations before switching to a given branch.

Imagine the scenario where you are working on a feature branch with some new migrations that have been run on the database. Now you want to switch back to the develop branch but you need to rollback the migrations to the state they were on the develop branch. This command makes this process easier by working out which migrations need rolled back and then running the migrate:rollback command for you.

Note: This command needs run before you switch branches.

Install

Require the library by running:

composer require gilbitron/laravel-migrate-to-branch

Next you need to add the following to your providers array in config/app.php:

Gilbitron\Laravel\MigrateToBranchServiceProvider::class

Usage

Before switching to a different branch run the following command using the name of the destination branch:

php artisan migrate:to-branch {branch}

If you want to see which migrations need rolled back without actually running the migrate:rollback command you can use the --dry-run flag.
