AutoMigrations

Forget migrations, auto-migrate!

Usage

Write out your schema (or use an existing one)

$ cat db/schema.rb
ActiveRecord::Schema.define do
create_table :posts do |t|
  t.string   :title
  t.text     :body
  t.timestamps
end
end
$ rake db:auto:migrate
Created posts table

...a few days later

$ cat db/schema.rb
ActiveRecord::Schema.define do
create_table :posts do |t|
  t.string   :title
  t.text     :content
  t.timestamps
end
end
$ rake db:auto:migrate
-- add_column("posts", :content, :text)
   -> 0.0307s
-- remove_column("posts", "body")
   -> 0.0311s
