dotnet-ef: Update the database to a specified migration.
$ dotnet ef database update ${migration}
try on your machine
The command dotnet ef database update ${migration}
is used to apply a specific database migration to the target database.
Here's a breakdown of the command:
dotnet
: This is the command-line interface (CLI) for .NET development.ef
: This is a shorthand for Entity Framework, a popular Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) tool for .NET development. It provides a set of tools to work with databases and manage migrations.database update
: This is the command to apply pending migrations to the target database. It reads the migration history table in the database and applies any pending migrations that haven't been applied yet.${migration}
: This is a placeholder for the specific migration you want to apply. You replace${migration}
with the name or identifier of the migration you want to apply.
To use the command, you would replace ${migration}
with the actual migration name or identifier. For example, if you have a migration named "InitialCreate", the command would look like dotnet ef database update InitialCreate
. This would apply the "InitialCreate" migration to the database.

never run a command you are not sure if it is safe.
