Re-explain
Migrations are a way to incrementally update the database schema to keep it in sync with the entity model while preserving existing data.
Benefits:
- Version control: Track database schema changes
- Team collaboration: Share schema changes across team
- Deployment: Apply changes to different environments
- Rollback: Undo changes if needed
- Data preservation: Update schema without losing data
# Add migration
dotnet ef migrations add InitialCreate
# Update database
dotnet ef database update
# Remove last migration
dotnet ef migrations remove
