Answer 1

Migration errors usually occur when using php artisan migrate and your migration has an error.

Within Laravel, there are some ways to reverse something that has been performed, especially migrations to more robust databases like MySql, for example.

One way to be reversing the step taken

php artisan migrate

is to run the

php artisan migrate: rollback

It automatically reverses the last migrate performed You also have the possibility to delegate how many steps will be reversed with the step parameter.

The number says how many steps will be reversed

php artisan migrate: rollback --step=1
