Difference between Symfony/Doctrine commands “make:migration” and “doctrine:migrations:diff”

Question

Is there a differences between the Symfony console command make:migration and doctrine:migrations:diff?

Answer 1

make:migration will create empty file for you so you can write your custom migration

doctrine:migrations:diff will compare your current database schema with entities mappings and if there is difference then it will create migration so you can update you database schema to reflect your entities mappings

Answer 2

There is no difference between these two commands.

make:migration is simply a Symfony provided wrapper for the Doctrine command.

You can run either to the exact same effect. But the symfony one requires that you have the Symfony Maker bundle, which otherwise it not required.
