#alembic migration commands

alembic documentation for specific instructions on how to run migrations

auto-generate is configured though, so no need to write your own migrations, just make sure your read over the migration script before upgrading. The command for auto-generating revisions is below.

$ alembic revision --autogenerate -m "what you changed"
